Teens horror story
3 November 2021
16-year-old Hendrik, his younger brother Eddie, and their mom Sabine have just moved to a small village-like town in the north of Austria because of Sabine's line of work. Hendrik is not happy.

Soon enough, Hendrik discovers his new home was the stage of a murder followed by suicide where a mom killed her children. Eddie seems to be the channel for some ghost, as he starts acting weird.

Given this movie's rating, I wasn't expecting much. The horror elements are very light with a few jumpscares, some real, some fake. There is little violence, either implied or non-visual. The movie centers on four kids, the older of them is 16 years old, so you know you won't see anything scary. This movie reminds me a lot of "Are you afraid of the dark?"

To me, there were two mysteries. One was solved, the other, I don't know. What motivated the murder. And why the hell everyone in this town is so creepy or weird for no reason. If it is because their new guests live in a haunted house, it just seems odd. Especially because we get facts that they were weird-os towards the old inhabitants of the same house, so people are just random weird-mot********** for no reason.

A childish abrupt ending seals the deal for this movie. Maybe because elaborating on a better ending could lead to a higher parental rating.
