The movie works as a tale of redemption as well as a pretty good monster movie.

Ditto. Saw it last night. Really liked the way it slowly builds the characters & their stories as well as cleverly plotted haunting atmosphere throughout. The mother-daughter relationship was the main strength of this movie/story. One of the best genre flicks of 2016 so far, IMO.

My only complaint was their final "escape plan" planned by the mother! Man...that was kinda stupid! Yeah...the circumstances or the way they were cornered considering the situation was understandable but as they figured the monster was afraid of lights and as long they had fire & a torch light, the mother should take a chance of running with her daughter by firing the whole woods down behind or could have face the same fate while confronting it together on the way.
