The premise
When her boyfriend Ben suddenly dies in an accident, mother-to-be Charlotte collapses upon receiving the news. She wakes up in Ben’s family home, a crumbling old manor house in the middle of nowhere with Ben’s overbearing mother and his controlling stepbrother who are determined to care for her. Grief-stricken and increasingly haunted by visions possibly brought on by the pregnancy, Charlotte begins to doubt the family's intentions and her suspicions grow that they may be trying to control her and her unborn baby.
Horror Vault's take
After a sudden tragedy strips Charlotte of her partner, she finds herself confined to his family's decaying country estate, surrounded by relatives whose warmth feels disturbingly conditional. Pregnancy leaves her physically vulnerable while a creeping sense of manipulation poisons every act of apparent kindness. As haunting visions blur the line between grief and something more sinister, Charlotte must fight to trust her own mind — and protect what is hers. Fiona Shaw leads a chilling supporting cast in this slow-burn Gothic thriller that turns the family home into a beautifully photographed trap.
