I didn't really understand John Crusack's character and his connection to Malcolm in the real world. Why was he chosen? What did he know what no one else can understand?

You just know something bad is going down. How can it not be? With the heavy rainfall. That just screams murderous rampage.

1st half was intriguing, captivating. Then the whole inside the guy's head came up, and it got weird. Instead of being a pure thriller, it turned into a psychological WTF. And never underestimate kids. It reminds me of the Damien movies or Children of the Corn.
