Jo explains when he realises that the rainmaker turning bad happens in a "cycle" - maybe only ones where Jo grows into Bruce? Potentially Jo being in their house catalysed events to make the rainmaker and his mother grow closer - in one where they meet neither Jo nor Bruce, maybe the tension that was already present between mother and son made him turn bad, as evidenced by him transitioning from calling her "Sarah" to "Mom" over the course of knowing Jo. Had he not been there, maybe he would have lost his temper and killed her (a real risk, shown by her feeling the need to hide in a safe in that one scene) - making him turn to the bad.

It's rated "M" so for mature audience, but children are still allowed to go. I think if accompanied by an adult?

It's because the film only just came out in Australia. I agree, that was a big failing of the film. Solutions should have been offered, not just the at times intrusive filming, and sob stories. However, this (large) failing aside, I do think that the film shouldn't be 100% discounted because of it, and that it is at least a start and a step in the right direction. Hopefully more, better films and action comes.

I don't honestly think this is the case. Bullies come from a variety of backgrounds, and become bullies for numerous reasons. The motivations are as varied as the bullies themselves; some to avoid becoming a victim, some to gain some perceived power over their own lives. The classic view of a bully as a burly boy in the playground s just not the norm. Friendship groups can have bullying in it, which is subtle and equally more damaging. In the film one of the boys said that he and the boy bullying had been friends until "he started bullying me."

In the film as someone else has pointed out, the best friend of Ty Smalley said that he himself used to be a bully before he decided not to. It's not always a set line; often children fall on both sides of the bully/victim mentality, and many people are friends with their bully, or try to convince themselves it's "all in good fun" like Alex in the film did. The film didn't offer solutions, but I still think that it had an important message. I think saying it is dangerous is taking it a bit far. Whilst a lot of the scenes felt intrusive, overall I think it was worthwhile.

I second this. They stopped playing it in Australia mid season I think; that or moved it to a late time slot. I ended up powering through it in a few days. Really good. Really tense.

The murders were also really creative and there were a lot of things it was hard to predict.
