I think the title of my review pretty much sums up this movie. It's very clear at times this writer/director desires to be mysterious in a Jordan Peele way without actually having the end results Jordan Peele can produce. Big spoilers ahead. Basically a woman abandoned her two children in the ghetto, moves to the suburbs, marries a white man, and starts a new family. The children she abandoned grow up, do the tiniest bit of stalking, make friends with their half siblings then eventually kill her new husband in a home invasion type scenario that is weak and watered down (literally). Then she leaves and abandons all four children. This movie looks like a low budget Lifetime movie and has a plot that actually could have been intriguing but flatlines halfway through. I remember when the trailer dropped on YouTube and everyone in the comments thought it was just going to be so amazing. I assure you the trailer is as good as it gets.
