Plot:

Review:
Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
  • A couple dealing with past grief through their newly adopted son makes this more than a jump scare movie, but the logic leaves more than a few questions unanswered. You'll see the conclusion coming before it arrives, but it's still effective for the most part. The biggest problem is this is a bit undercooked. It's an interesting idea that falls prey to a few flaws.
