It clearly rained every single day of their filming of this flaccid movie. I genuinely think everyone got depressed by this. True, the characters were recovering from the death of a child, but still, you have to give the audience something to root for, some personality trait that makes you want this family to survive. Everything is shot in monotones. Rooms are dark, somber. People mope. And it rains. I've given two stars for the scenery, despite the rain. Shot in Vancouver, apparently, I got the impression the director, depressed himself, said to his camera crew, 'For God's sake, get some shots of snow-covered mountains emerging out of the mist. Perhaps people will take that as metaphor for hope at the end of this damp squid." It's not good when you're hoping the psychopath might actually kill the teenager and put us all out of our misery.
