From the trailer I thought that this maybe a supernatural film with a twist, you get the twist I guess, but it was not what I expected. Not one to read reviews and jump on the negative bandwagon, but I found the " Neve " character hard to stomach with her over polite correctness front, however, Ashley Madekwe played this role very well, you really did grow to hate her has the film went on, which I believe was the directors/scriptwriters aim. I think the element of surprise has to the identity of the "strays" thankfully is explained sooner than later, and again Bukky Bakray and Jordan Myrie were excellent playing this out. Maybe might appeal more to a british audience, just my take on this film.

It started off well. Cheryl walks out on her life and reinvents herself as Neve . So 15 years later , Neve (aka Cheryl ) who is black ( but looked half white ) was married to a white man and had two teenage children Mary and Sebastian ( Seb ) . They don't know about Neve's past life . As Neve behaved as though she was white ,she'd bring up the kids that way too. Yet the kids weren't like that , which didn't add up . The both went to a private school. . There's a new janitor at the school who is Black . Seb after one conversation with the new janitor becomes friends with him . That would NEVER happen . Firstly , Seb would look down on the janitor and also , be would suspicious of him . He wouldn't meet him in the woods of the school . In fact Seb would report the janitor for asking to meet him in the woods . On another day , the janitor invites Seb on to the roof of a building to smoke weed A black girl who is a complete stranger approaches Mary on the street . And they suddenly become friends ! That would never happen in real life . You don't become friends with a stranger who approaches you in the street The girl invites Mary to her hotel room and they drink and 'hang out ' . Mary invites the girl to her mother's party for charity . At the party Neve screams at the girl . The girl screams back and exposes Neve . She reveals that she is Neve's daughter and the janitor is her son Neve's family are shocked . At night the boy and break into the house . WHERE IS THE ALARM ? WHERE IS THE CAMERA THAT EVERYONE HAS OUTSIDE THEIR MAIN DOOR? The girl and boy go to everyone's rooms and takes their phones. NOT ONE PERSON HEARS THEM . They all wake up when the boy puts on the telly . The boy also turns on the tap in the sink and floods the kitchen . It's the girl's birthday so she demands Chinese take out There is tension from the family . That is well portrayed . The girl and boy don't have any weapons . No-one in the family tries to run or tackle the boy. The boy takes the Neve's husband to the gym in the house . The boy kills the husband . When he is in the gym the family could easily have tackled the girl but they don't The Uber eats delivery arrives , Neve takes the food, then gets her wallet to give the man a tip. She then gets on the back of the Uber Eats motorbike and runs off . The people in the house all realise thar she's run off again . The acting was good . The atmosphere was good but there were too many pot holes. And Neve kept freaking out. She offers her estranged children money to 'disappear ' . Neve had reinvented herself so she would have been more strategic and cunning when handling her estranged kids . She wouldn't have been so clumsy Everything the estranged children did made no sense. There was no 'body ' to the whole movie . Anyway ,how convenient that r the boy got a job as a janitor ant the school and the girl got a job at Neve's husband's business.
