Description
In an attempt to shake his wife out of her illness, Frank moves the family to a quiet new home away from people. Eventually, strange events start happening around their baby, and soon Frank becomes very leery of their only neighbor.
When Frank and Julie move to a small isolated town with their son Sam, both Julie and Sam become ill. Driven by terrifying nightmares of torture that come true Frank begs a local midwife Helen to care for Sam as he desperately searches for a way to stop this curse on his family. When he discovers they are being tortured by the vengeful spirit of a child that was buried alive years earlier, Frank is pushed to the brink of madness as he tries to stop the ghost and save his dying family.
“It’s one of those films where in the end they show you a copulation of all the clues that you missed while watching! If you like a good “quiet”/subtle type of horror movie combined with a good vengeful spirit then this is a film for you!” – Letterboxd
“I found this movie to be really intelligent about the exploration of what it means to be well and truly lost in suffering to the point of breaking off mentally. This movie makes you work for the thrill by actually thinking about it, and is scarier after you finish watching it than it is during. I loved it.” – MovieChat
“This film is a surprisingly effective and creepy little masterpiece that is a cut above its peers. Most horror films made on a shoestring budget and with a small cast such as this one are substandard, but it works in this case, creating an unsettling realistic feel.” – IMDb
