Viewing Notes

Impromptu movie night in the Secret Cinema! Another unknown film that was a pleasant surprise. Kinda like a mashup of the Bad Seed and the like with Orphan or something. Love how it’s filmed to not show the faces of the parents. Creates a unsettling feeling that builds up until the big finale.
