Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
lightlikecoolwhip The parents in this movie were so vile and shockingly cruel. I never felt their "love" for their children, they literally treated them like dogs and found amusement in confusing them. This movie did create an atmosphere that sucked me in, and the quiet horror was so unsettling for me. It was difficult to watch because the victims were so innocent. It was horrifying to watch them blindly trust their disgusting parents. The oldest daughter was a very interesting character and she gave me a sense of hope throughout all the calm creepiness.
christopher-underwood From the very start this is worrying and bewildering. Gradually we become to understand what is going on but it remains worrying. Quite right too because this, allowing for some artistic licence, is what happens when a parent decides to rule supreme and the other parent goes along. Most often we hear of such phenomena in parts of the US, often with a particular religious involvement/justification. But here carried to absolute extreme, before our very eyes, is the full effect of 'loving parents' who cannot allow the outside world, in any form, to challenge their own idea of 'bringing up children'. Some have referred to this as 'amusing', well I smiled once or twice but basically, this is horrifying throughout. Albeit fascinating.
ARCo10 A little group of grown up children commanded by a couple of weak and dominant humans who take the control of them using just the language. This movie give you answers to things you never asked, but you should. Watching this I thought things about the reason why we bring the kids to the school and what happen to farmers living far one from another. This movie is a crude exploration to the effects of the controlled isolation and the power relationship between those who know nothing and the people in charge.
gnsmlns There are introspective moments and a few important messages, but for the most part, the thought that lingered in my mind while watching the movie was : "This movie is different. A cetrain number of people (not too many i hope) believe that something is "good" when it's "different"."To me, it's not good. Not even one bit. It's just different.
