This is a 2008 English film about a guy (Matthew) who's brother disappeared one night and feels guilty because he was supposed to be watching him at the time, but was having a party with his friends at the house while his father was gone. He ignores his little brother (Tom): He leaves to go to the playground and never returns. After being away in a mental hospital for awhile: he returns home and then begins to hear the voice of his missing brother among other strange happenings that will eventually lead him to discover what happened.
This movie stars English actors Harry Treadaway (Matthew) and Greg Wise (his father). I've never heard of them at all by name, but after some googleing I see that Harry Treadaway was the one that played the boy main charactor in "City of Ember" which I did see with my daughter in the theater when it came out in 2008. Harry's other films include Brothers of the Head in 2005, Afterlife in 2006, Fish Tank in 2009, and more. I've never heard or seen any of them. I'll have to give them a watch.
Greg Wise, although I've never heard of him either: I did recognize his face. I just couldn't place it. He has a long list of movies and television series he's been in and mostly on BBC. I did recognize a couple like "Tales from the Crypt" TV series and the movie "Sense and Sensibility".
I've defiantly seen worse movies and it did keep my attention through the whole thing with a few twists that I won't give away. You do find yourself saying "OK I know what's going on" but then you're wrong. lol Overall I did enjoy watching it and do recommend that you give it a watch. It's worth seeing.
OK I really don't like the 5 star rating system. I much prefer using a 10 star scaling system. there are a lot of different levels that I can like or dislike so I think it will reflect a truer scale of my opinion with the movie. I will in the future put up a list of the scale and description of each star level.
I give this one a 6.5 stars out of 10. ;D
