Miles better than the movie, which didn't even keep the title (Antlers is a stupid name anyways). As morbid as it sounds, I liked that Julia died, it's rare to see horror stories be bold enough to kill their main characters, and I liked how it made sense for her character to not leave the boy behind, and we don't know what happens to Lucas, either. Only thing I liked about the movie was the theme of domestic abuse being present with the teacher and her brother and how it paralleled the boy's story.
