reminded me of young dexter


this movie could have easily been marketed as "adventures of young dexter".
the autistic freak was the spitting image of a young dexter. especially in the scene when he watched his "sister" stabbing the dude in fron of the tree. you could see something like "sudden admiration" for his pricky stepsis. the other scene was him watching the truck open and the bad dude coming out instead of his dad. the look of promising doom on his face was exactly the expression dexter often shows. i thought this was kind of brilliant. of course this could be coincidence for there are many troubled people like dexter and the autistic freak out there. but why then cast a guy that resembles so much dexter's appearance ;-)

I thought so too, plus he cares for his stepsister, despite the emotionlessness.

Still watching and had to come here and find if others liked it as much as I am. You are right about the Mini Dexter thing. I noticed it when the sister and the bald dude fell into his room and Owen was in the corner. The way he stood up, eyes wide open. It was like he was saying: "Finally I get to do some major mayhem! I have been waiting my entire life for a moment like this! Yes!!!" And then it was on from there.

And hell he likes playing with jacks so he can't be all bad lol. Also Owen and his new sister are perfect together, she's a nutty one too.
