The premise
Laura's expecting. Her husband, Steven's a loving guy but has little time for her. Her mom lives thousands of miles away. Forced to give up on her dreams, she's always been a bit edgy. A C-section drives her over the edge, making her see things in a different light. A creepy babysitter doesn't make things any better. She begins seeing things, trusts no one, as she goes into self-destruct mode.
Horror Vault's take
After a difficult birth, new mother Laura finds herself unraveling in a world that feels increasingly hostile and strange. Isolated from her husband and far from family support, her grip on reality begins to slip as shadowy presences and a deeply unsettling babysitter feed her mounting paranoia. What follows is a slow-burn descent into fear where the line between genuine threat and fractured perception is impossible to trust. Elisabeth Shue anchors this claustrophobic psychological horror with a raw, committed performance.
