Sounds like a rip-off cross between...


...LET ME IN and BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA.

It isn't.


If you feel like Picard screaming how many lights there are, it's time to walk away from the thread.

I can see where u got that, with the bullying in both movies, and the "fantasy world" of BTT... But no, not even close. Both good films, with similar themes, but the main theme of AMC was NOT bullying.

To me it seemed very similar to Before I Wake.

To me, it felt like a cross between BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA and PAN'S LABYRINTH

I can definitely see the Bridge to Terebithia connection. And the "monster" looked like Groot, in some ways, and other ways like Optimus Prime.

But this movie is way deeper.
