this be truly an awful film and towards the middle i be mostly laugh . the plot be infinitely stupid and and a it be say in the message board and the script be in desperate need of a thorough rewrite . the character be not convince at all in part because they be so oblivious to this kid behave really strangely right from the beginning ( he be never scar . how could they fail to notice that . he look a if he be on a boring school trip ) . no one be surprise he could draw like some professional comic book artist or that locked door do not stop him . there something call suspension of disbelief and well and with this film it not a suspension you need it an obliteration . the direction and the actor be ok and nothing outstanding and nothing outrageous . i like the bird eye view of the snowy landscape ( reminiscent of shin and like a few other thing ) until they start to get overused . whisper be like a serious version of home alone where kevin the funny kid be replace with damien the satanic kid ( from the omen ) . a stunt that could have be pull on south park but do not need a movie of it own .
