i be a fan of the horror movie and regardless of which hemisphere it come from . i know what to expect from the west and the east and most horror in the middle . so i receive the dvd of acacia in the post and look forward to a slow build of ever increase tension and scary child with odd and disjointed movement hide under duvet . the major selling point for this film be that it have a far more linear story line than many of this ilk you get who the character be and where they be from and what they do . you get the baseline information ( nice couple and can not have child ) and realise that the premise be just too normal for something freaky not to happen . and then come the bad . the number one complaint be that the story be obvious . i get it pretty much the moment the kid hug the tree . i know where the film be go and be even able to predict the order of death and for what reason . the editing be shock and unfortunately and not to the benefit of the film . even be i still ponder the event and tension isn not allow to build because the director seem to have get a new edit suite for his birthday and want to use it as much a possible . and my final gripe be this . the tree be unnecessary . this would have be a perfectly good tale of subtle horror with just the couple break down over the death of the child the titular tree buy nothing new or excite to the film . so i will finish where i start my overall impression be oh .
