Thoughts;
Of course, big creepy house, older weird couple and being in
the middle of nowhere are going to make for some creepy things.
Based on previews of the movie when we are first introduced
to Brahms, we know it’s a doll, however it’s a rather creepy doll of course.
After the doll is covered right away on the first night
strange things start to happen. Throughout the rest of the movie it’s hard to
figure out if the doll is just possessed or if something else is going on.
I have questions that were unanswered. Do the old couple know
that there is actually someone living in their walls and that it’s their son?
Why do they go off to kill themselves? I feel like I missed something.
