Overview

After their mother passes away, sisters Nicole and Annie reluctantly return to their childhood home to pay their last respects. While staying overnight in the house, the sisters sense a mysterious presence in their midst: noises startling them in the night, objects moving about, a fallen picture of an unknown woman posed next to their mother. Annie begins experiencing a series of intense and disturbing dreams - visions that lead her to uncover something terrible about her mother’s past that is finally revealing itself.

Viewing Notes

Really in the middle on this one. Really love the atmosphere and stylized composition (slo-mo, close-ups, angles, etc) but the story is a bit of a mess. It’s okay to have mystery but when we have to guess how the dots are connected and why any of it is meaningful, it loses some edge. The real sinker for me was the scribbled Ouija board. Ugh. That’s a trope I really never want to see in a movie again.
