The premise

Radio talk show therapist Sonny Blake moves back to her childhood home on seemingly idyllic Rosewood Lane after her alcoholic father dies. But upon arrival in the old neighborhood, Sonny discovers her neighbors are terrified of the local paperboy. She thinks this is ridiculous, until she encounters the boy himself. It turns out that he is a cunning and dangerous sociopath, one who may have gruesomely killed her father - and others.

Horror Vault's take

When radio therapist Sonny Blake returns to her childhood home following her father's death, she expects grief — not a neighborhood living in quiet terror of the local paperboy. What seems like small-town hysteria quickly reveals something far more calculated and chilling lurking behind that friendly, youthful face. Director Victor Salva crafts a suburban thriller built on the unsettling premise that the most dangerous predator can be hiding in plain sight, making daily rounds. Rosewood Lane leans into psychological dread as Sonny struggles to convince anyone that the threat is real.
