Horror Vault's take

In a dying small town plagued by whispered legends of a mysterious figure who steals children in the night, one mother's desperate search for her missing child pulls her — and the audience — into a web of secrets far stranger than folklore. Pascal Laugier's follow-up to his divisive extreme horror debut trades overt gore for slow-burn psychological unease, building dread through atmosphere and misdirection. Jessica Biel anchors the film with a raw, committed performance as a woman who refuses to stop asking questions, even as the answers grow increasingly disturbing.
