true this movie be close to a classic but it so darkly chilling and gloomy that it be hard to tolerate . the performance of some of the kid be so intense that i wonder how they be effect . talk about child actor spiral downward . that poor little gerty must be a basket case . one reviewer share my sentiment in perceptively call our mother house an ancestor of the cement garden . a a child my daughter be traumatize when i take her to see cement garden and she still remind me that it damage her psyche . so and despite excellent portrayal by talented and professional young actor i would advise against expose child and even horror or thriller jaded kid of today and to this dark and creepy story .
