The premise
Two young women at a prestigious prep school are assailed by an evil, invisible power when they're stranded over winter break.
Horror Vault's take
A prestigious New England girls' school empties out for winter break, leaving two students alone in its cold, echoing halls — and something unseen begins to take an interest in them. Writer-director Oz Perkins crafts a measured, deeply atmospheric descent into dread, weaving together timelines that slowly converge on a devastating truth. Equal parts character study and supernatural nightmare, the film prizes mood and melancholy over conventional scares, making the horror feel inescapable rather than sudden.
