The premise
A little boy, obsessed with blindness and violence, slowly gets trapped in his own delusions.
Horror Vault's take
A young boy on the cusp of losing his sight becomes dangerously fixated on the violence he fears lurks in the darkness around him. As his anxieties deepen, the line between what is real and what his troubled mind has conjured grows increasingly impossible to discern. This slow-burn British thriller crawls under the skin through its child's-eye perspective, building dread from the mundane details of everyday life turned sinister.
