Was he better than most at that age? Sure. He just didn't always seem "focused" to me. Which doesn't matter, he's a kid and I feel gross for critiquing it like that. Maybe I just don't like actors that young.

Oh, I liked it a lot. It was easily one of the best horror films I've seen in years. I just didn't like the ending. But the tension that was created in some of those scenes were masterful.
