I am not a big fan of horror films. I love a good psychological mystery, though this one managed to walk the edge of both of those genres Octavia Spencer was the reason I watched it and she did not disappoint. She was fabulous and made the movie work. Any other person playing this character would not have had the nuance she brought to it. I'm happy to say that at the end of this film I gave it two thumbs up. I don't do that very often, but this one really surprised me even though it was predictable, I suppose that's because of the incredible lead actor and what she brought to the film elevated it, and the supporting cast was elevated as well.
