Horror Vault's take

When a grieving couple opens their home to a young orphan boy, they discover his imagination carries an extraordinary and terrifying power: whatever he dreams comes to life while he sleeps. At first his visions bring fleeting wonder into their fractured household, but the darker corners of his subconscious prove far harder to contain. As the boundary between dream and waking reality dissolves, the family must confront both supernatural dread and deeply personal pain. Director Mike Flanagan crafts a ghost story that cuts as much with emotion as with fear.
