OK...
The movie started out good. Creepy, dark and left me sitting wearing my nerves on the outside. We soon learn something is off..
The little girls parents are abusing her. Got it. She kills them using telepathic powers. Got it. How did her brother die? Did her parents crush his ribs before they died? Did the girl smother him? How? Never answered...
Girl moves in with a nice couple and their two children. (They used to have three children, but the oldest girl died some years ago from cancer) The foster parents are really trying to help this little girl. Good people.
At night, the little girl wanders around, whistling, until she finds herself outside the house of some schoolmates that are, you guessed it, abused by their mother. Cue the "Carrie"-powers, dead mother to follow. Almost understandable.
Then the girl is invited to a birthday party. Oh joy. When the other girls are mean to their dolls, our little protagonist uses her mind to set fire to the dolls, and then tries to hypnotically get the children to touch the burning heap of plastic. Does she want to do this? Is it unwilling? Who knows...
The next time this girl wanders out at night, she somehow summons all the children in the town - leads them into the school, and makes the building collapse. OK, she just killed a bunch of kids. Why? I get the abusive parents (kind of), but these kids?
As if that wasn't enough, she (and the two abused kids from earlier) barbecue the foster parents (why??) and perhaps themselves. We'll never know, the movie ended like that.
What's the deal? Demonic possession? "Carrie"-spinoff-powers? Why kill the foster-parents? Did they give their daughter cancer? Had they "lent" her out to the crazy girls parents? I don't know...
I have a LOT more questions, but I don't even thinks it's worth spending my time writing them. When the movie ended I was left with all these questions, and not the good kind. We got no apparent motive for why the girl was behaving that way. We don't know how she could do what she did... Nothing.
What started out as something good turned out to be one of the worst films I've seen this year.
