The premise
Niamh is the lone survivor of a mysterious massacre in which the furniture and objects in her family’s isolated house took on a monstrous life of their own. The police ignore her wild stories, and the neighbours and social worker who take her into their care try to introduce her to a new life. But Niamh is unable to leave her violent past behind her, endangering everyone who crosses her path.
Horror Vault's take
After surviving a terrifying incident in her family home, young Niamh is placed in the care of well-meaning strangers — but the darkness that clung to her old life refuses to let go. Ordinary objects seem to respond to her anguish in deeply unnatural ways, blurring the line between supernatural threat and psychological wound. As those around her struggle to understand what she has endured, Niamh becomes an increasingly dangerous presence in their lives. This Irish chiller uses genre conventions to explore the quiet horrors of trauma and the failures of adults to protect the vulnerable.
