The premise
Dwight and his sister Jessie reach a crossroads over what to do about their little brother Thomas, a sickly child with a mysterious affliction.
Horror Vault's take
In a grey, suffocating world apart from society, two adult siblings pour everything they have into keeping their fragile younger brother alive — no matter the cost. When the weight of their arrangement pushes Dwight and Jessie toward a breaking point, the bonds of family loyalty begin to fracture in deeply uncomfortable ways. This quiet, devastating film trades jump scares for existential dread, using its vampire premise as a lens on exhaustion, duty, and love taken to dark extremes. It's horror at its most human and its most heartbreaking.
