Before watching the movie I happened to see the rating score (usually something I try and avoid) which suggested the movie may not be that great. I was a little surprised as it has a good cast.
However I have to say it was pretty good. I really connected with the anguish the parents were feeling that led to their decisions and could see how that anguish continued to influence them throughout the film.
Its pretty mild in the horror stakes more a drama with a couple of jump scares, so don't go into this expecting to be scared to death.
I guess one of the aspects of the film I did enjoy was the conversation it generated after the ending, "would you do that'?
It does cover the morals and ethics of their decision but thankfully it doesn't beat you to death with it, they raise it here and there and then let you get back to the core of the story, the parent's pain, which clearly out did morals/ethics.
I didn't watch this looking for moral or ethical guidance, when I want that I watch The Simpsons!
