if you can get past the slow start and bad act it worth watch . the story line be pretty decent . the father have a wicked temper because he be unemployed and he hardly get to see his kid except in the summer because his ex wife have custody of him . the father be very angry and frustrate the majority of the time . the monster in the story wasn not too scary . the movie break consistency of the monster be so incredibly strong . the one scene that the moviemakers do this in be one of the time when the kid be down in the cellar and the monster go to attack him . when the monster go to attack the kid his arm get catch in a steel trap attach to a chain . the monster be about a foot away from the kid face . every other time throughout the movie the monster be strong enough to break through or tear down anything . yet the steel trap and chain hold him back from get the kid . more than likely the moviemakers do this for shock factor because no one want to see one of the main character die . moviemakers just want to scare u into think it may be a possibility that the kid could die . instead of break consistency and the moviemakers should have replace the kid with someone who they could dispose of .
