The premise
Aisha, a Senegalese immigrant who takes a job as a nanny for a wealthy white family in New York City, finds herself consumed by unsettling visions and a growing rage.
Horror Vault's take
Aisha has crossed an ocean chasing a better life, but her new role caring for a privileged Manhattan family comes at a cost she didn't anticipate. Strange, water-soaked visions begin bleeding into her waking hours, drawing on something ancient and deeply personal. As the boundary between her inner world and reality erodes, the film weaves West African mythology into a simmering portrait of longing and suppressed fury. What starts as a quiet domestic drama curdles into something haunting and inevitable.
