Flanagan has proven himself extremely capable of working with young actors in the past and, in this case, gets incredible work out of Kyliegh Curran, who makes for an extremely likeable young "sidekick" to Danny for most of the movie.

Elsewhere, Cliff Curtis is fantastic as Danny's pal Billy, Jacob Tremblay gets a brief but memorable role as one of the children preyed upon by Rose, and Twin Peaks/Addams Family legend Carel Struycken - who previously appeared in Flanagan's Gerald's Game - gets a neat role as one of Rose's aged followers.
