Son




 Son on Shudder starts off super interesting. A cult enters a young boys room(Luke David Blumm from King of Staten Island) so his mom(Andi Matichak) tries to convince the cops(Emile Hirsh) that she wasn't hallucinating. Soon it seems the hospital is in on the cult so she splits town and enters the underbelly or hookers, motels and the occult. It sounds interesting but the pacing is off and the plot begins to wear thin. Hirsh, Blumm, and Matichak all do solid acting and the idea of what is real and what isn't is a good plot device but the ingredients don't add up. It has a great twist at the end but i honestly just wanted to fall asleep.
