Static (2012)
Very effective thriller, although seems like a remake
For a thriller, this film delivers the goods. Moments of almost unbearable tension and the jolts only add to the suspense. Well-acted, especially between the leads. The sorrow they endured due to the loss of their son is heartbreaking. Although it's clear they love each other, they've lost their way to connect and communicate with one another. As much as I enjoyed the film, I kept wondering if I had already seen it before. It seems to be a remake of a terrifying 2006 French film called 'Them' ('Ils'). In any case, I wouldn't recommend watching either of these films alone, especially if you're staying in an empty house somewhere in the country, far from civilization! the ending is a big disappointment, though. A failed attempt to make a happy Hollywood ending.
