The premise

After becoming orphaned, a lonely girl moves in with her grandparents and tries to befriend a sick, bed-ridden boy next door, despite his mother’s strong objections. Her persistence leads to a friendship, but during secret visits, she uncovers dark secrets in the boy's home.

Horror Vault's take

A recently orphaned girl finds solace in a quiet rural community after moving in with her grandparents, but her curiosity leads her to a bedridden boy whose domineering mother guards him with unsettling ferocity. What begins as a tender, unlikely friendship quickly reveals that something deeply wrong lurks behind the walls of the neighboring home. Director John McNaughton crafts a slow-burning tale of secrets and suburban dread anchored by powerhouse performances from Samantha Morton and Michael Shannon. The closer our young protagonist gets to the truth, the more dangerous her visits become.
