Now this isn't a movie per-say, but I've been clamoring to watch this show once I first saw the trailers and previews running on FX. We open with two kids going into a house, breaking everything left inside, and finally being killed by a mysterious force. Now the main premise is the story of a who family moves into an old house, that used to be owned by a big-shot back in the day. Turns out the old owners before them were involved in a murder/suicide. The mother is a housewife who recently had a bad miscarriage, the dad is a psychiatrist starting to work from home, and the daughter is adjusting to yet another new school. They all have secrets and problems to boot. (You'll see if/when you watch the episode.) The kills, from what is shown look standard and I liked not being able to see everything. Lets the mind fill in the blanks. But this is much more of a mind-bending show. Seeing things that aren't there, the kid from next door giving ominous warnings, people seeing even other people in two different ways. There's already so much to process from the premiere. Like I said, the family has problems, the psych aspects and explanations are cool, the scares work well, and the mind-bending parts that happen are very cool to see. The acting is good and real, the cinematography and visuals looks great, and the dark tones/lighting help everything along. All in all, it's a cable horror show that doesn't suck (so far) and works for me. Give it a try, so far, I like it.
