Cruel kids
20 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For the most part of this movie, I struggled to actually like the two kids, their characters were very unlikeable.

One seemed to possess more empathy than the other though!

The sentence that these two cruel people got for their actions and what they caused a lonely old man to do, was just pitiful.

They willingly tortured this man, no one made them. They did it for their own self gain.

I literally cried when the old man shot himself, cause I knew that it was in relation to that bell and that it meant something regarding his late Wife, before the movie even explained what the bell meant.

How two people could be okay with the cruel torture of an old man who just wanted to be left alone, is beyond me.

A large portion of this movie is pretty boring, from a movie perspective to be honest, I watched it to the end as I was curious how it all ended up in court. I actually thought that it would have been Ethan who shot him (given he took a gun) with him having such a hate for him, had it in his head that this old guy was just bad, even knowing he'd helped his own Mother all those years ago.

But I knew when Grainey had the gun and looked at the bell, what he was going to do.

It's a very sad end to a torturous movie.

It's not all boring as such, but not much happens in it really.

I can't recommend this movie, not because it isn't good, because I wouldn't sit through it again, as I'd struggle to again watch an old man be cruely taunted by two kids.
