Our intro appears to be giving off the sensation of a loss, and I think they expect us to have an emotional response, but the character doesn't make me feel anything.
We've a few new characters, and they seem to be much more lively. It appears that 2 of them are siblings, and they're both young, so they don't yet see eye to eye.
Our initial character appears to be out of sorts and quite possibly even dangerous, while our older siblings is quite the brut and maybe callous towards his sister. It appears as if I've misjudged our characters, and there may be something far worse in the woods where all our characters are spending time.
Our youngsters live with their grandfather, who sends very knowledgeable about the forest surrounding their home. Something in the woods has possibly had some kind of interaction with our first character, and it doesn't feel right, and things are likely going to escalate from here.
Such a Beautifully ending sequence, all the film has shown and allowed us to feel comes into perspective finally, and death serves a purpose in these eyes.
