The Afflicted is an American production that delivers pretty much what it says on the tin. You get a very disturbed family with a mother who does not give her children much of anything. However, it is not a movie that is very interesting in terms of subject matter, bringing some new perspective, or at the very least a concept that is going to be really hardcore and mess with the viewer's head, although it is still a decent movie.
