Horror film in which a mother becomes concerned by the disturbing changes in her young son's behaviour.
Cronin builds up his narrative patiently without waiting to confront his audience with spooks and frights.
Irish director Lee Cronin's first feature is an unsettling, well-acted horror.
A young boy walks into a mysterious hole in the ground, and when he returns, his mother feels there's something not quite right about the lad in this effective Irish horror.
A soft-spoken yet chilling domestic horror film that tells its slightly overfamiliar tale effectively, with strong performances, quietly disturbing atmosphere, one or two friendly clichés, and good, old- fashioned scares.
Co-writer/director Lee Cronin does a decent job of keeping things ambiguous, even as he’s pushing the film into more fantastical territory, and that prolonged sense of mystery helps sustain it through all the creaky jump scares and the over-cranked score.
A psychological horror film that leaves you wanting to come up for air.
Mounting weirdness descends as a mother and young son set up home in the middle of a dark and sinister forest.
