Excellent. Genuinely talented children and a proper horror story told with considerable visual flair.

Both Robert Oliveri and Lisa Jakub are brilliant in this. Creepy most of the time, but completely sympathetic with it. Capable of showing fear and despair and rage. And also great at those moments of growth, comprehension and realisation.

The story is about disappearing children. And it pulls no punches. At times it feels like an ugly, real-world crime popping up in the ‘safe’ fantasy world of F13. Indeed, the scenes between the kids and their mother show some pretty ugly parental child abuse. Amazing work from Belinda Metz here.

The fantasy land of the playhouse is conveyed with some great visuals. It really does look nightmarish and unpleasant. Reminiscent of a frightening fairy tale one might tell to children.

The script is smart. Everything from Jack’s casual remark about the kids being interviewed on television to the nuts-and-bolts practicalities of the the way the heroes track the object down convey the impression of smart characters in a smart world, and of a show that doesn’t talk down to it’s audience.

Jack’s solution is smart, too. Obvious in hindsight. But, up to that, it wasn’t clear how exactly the playhouse would be defeated.

10/10
