description

Nothing is as it seems when a woman visits her fiancé’s family with chilling results. What started as a trip to the countryside becomes far from idyllic in this twisted psychological thriller.

Holly is looking forward to meeting her fiancé’s estranged family, but instead arrives at the house to find his ex-wife missing and the three children behaving in increasingly unnerving ways. As the days pass with no sign of the children’s mother, the children become more and more hostile to Holly, and her suspicions begin to mount. What at first appeared to be typical teenage angst escalates rapidly, until it is perfectly clear that something is very wrong in this house.
