The premise
After escaping from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Leena Klammer travels to America by impersonating Esther, the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But when her mask starts to slip, she is put against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous “child” at any cost.
Horror Vault's take
Before she was Esther, she was Leena — a cunning adult woman with a rare condition that makes her appear childlike, and a talent for reinventing herself as whoever she needs to be. After a daring escape from a psychiatric facility in Estonia, she infiltrates a privileged American household by posing as their long-lost daughter. What begins as an audacious con quickly escalates into a lethal game of cat and mouse when the family proves far more complicated than she anticipated. This prequel peels back the origin of one of horror's most memorable villains and delivers some genuinely savage surprises along the way.
