I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find nothing new here. The Harper family remains consumed by grief following the loss of their wife and mother, and each member is struggling with the fallout; the father (Chris Messina), older daughter Sadie (Sophie Thatcher), and younger daughter Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) seem lost in their own worlds. Things take a turn when dad Will, who works as a therapist, receives a visit from Billings (David Dastmalchian, who always seems to exude a vaguely threatening presence), and then some of the mother's paint is spilled. It quickly becomes apparent that the creature at the center of the story intends to exploit their family’s pain. Will they recognize the danger they face before it’s too late? Perhaps the monster could do everyone a favor and target the viewers instead. There are a few moments that offer a jolt, but mostly this is a talky family drama that spends far too much time exploring who's neglecting, loving, or hating whom, and not nearly enough effort crafting something fresh and frightening. It’s supposedly adapted from a Stephen King short story, but that doesn’t give it the right to expand into a hundred minutes of rather average storytelling and performances. The darkness does contribute somewhat, but eventually it seems like all the film is banking on to generate any sense of suspense. I guess the takeaway might be: always have some portable Christmas lights within reach? This feels more suited for Halloween TV than anything else, unfortunately.
