Slow and badly dubbed

Warning: Spoilers

Very slow, boring and plodding... basically, a dirge!

Particularly due to the bad dubbing and its amateurish voice acting, I find it difficult to give this a truly objective appraisal.

Although the dubbing accent was (general) American, near the beginning the little girl referred to her mother as (British) "mummy" rather than (American) "mommy". Immediate conflict for the viewer.

As for the voice acting, it was stilted, lacking in truth and simply not believable... the American accent just seemed inappropriate and just did not seem to fit. This is true for most dubbed movies. Probably the best, and most professional, dubbing lies with the Italian film industry. I say the best although I am still 'anti-dubbing'.

The essence of an actor (although there are exceptions, e.g. silent movies, mime etc) is his voice. For truth in acting, we need to experience the match in his total, true physicality of expression... voice with locomotion with poise with characteristics with traits etc. With dubbing, there is always an ill-fitting piece of the jigsaw. Something just does not gel... and this is the major problem with this movie.

However, the film does offer a few (although over-the-top) scary moments later on - perhaps from around 40mins before the end. These are marred, though, by being somewhat excessive and over-the-top, and also by the lead actress (Narges Rashidi) simply not being scared enough... she simply comes across as - let's say - too brave.

Overall disappointing, especially considering that one of my favourite critics, Mark Kermode, rated it favourably.
