My quick rating - 6.1/10. I saw this one back in 2015 and wrote a very brief synopsis: A unique movie that is more a coming-of-age film for the majority of it that turns to horror. Well made and acted which helps give the audience an actual feel for the characters. Definitely worth a look due to the fact it is nice to see something different in a film. The only reason it isn't ranked higher is it does tend to drag at times but that is mere nitpicking. Marty is the ideal fifth grader. He gets good grades, listens to his teachers, and doesn't start trouble in class. But a darkness is beginning to fall over Marty's life. The kids at school won't stop picking on him, his parents just don't seem to understand him, and now Marty must grapple with a terrible secret that threatens to destroy life as he knows it -- his big brother is a serial killer who was influenced by some long lost slasher film from 1978! Brotherly love is put to the ultimate test in this emotional coming-of-age story that descends into full-blown horror.
