The premise
A serial killer kidnaps a young boy after murdering his mother, then raises him to be his accomplice. After years in captivity, the boy must choose between escaping or following in his captor's bloody footprints.
Horror Vault's take
When a routine taxi ride turns fatal, a young boy finds himself trapped in the isolated home of a methodical serial killer who has no intention of letting him go. Forced into servitude over years of captivity, the boy is slowly shaped in his captor's image — yet something in him resists. Jennifer Lynch's deeply uncomfortable character study pits the will to survive against the slow erosion of self, anchored by a ferocious performance from Vincent D'Onofrio.
