While it wasn't gore for the sake of gore, it still didn't quite resonate with me. There is quite a bit of horror and gore to the story. It's not the usual possession story, although the demons easily seduce the weakest links. He quickly discovers that something isn't quite right with his dad. When his mom sends him to summer with his dad, he's thrilled.
When his mom moves him away from his hometown after the divorce, James is a bit lost. All of this sets him up as a prime target for demonic possession. Richie didn't make a very likable character, but the good thing is he's not supposed to be, though I imagine that the author does mean for you to feel somewhat sympathetic towards him. Divorced with an unsuccessful job, he's depressed and drinking heavily. Instead of accepting responsibility for his own actions, he falls into the trap of blame.
While it had some creepy tones to it, I don't love it the way others seem to be.Įssentially a coming of age horror, The Window follows Richie and his son, James. While I find them enjoyable, I just don't find that they scare me, which is unfortunate because I love to be scared.
It's probably not so far off from my love of horror movies. I'm quickly finding that what other people find terrifying in horror, I just don't.
