“A soft-spoken yet chilling domestic horror film that tells its slightly overfamiliar tale effectively.”~Kim Newman, Empire

Aroview: Decidedly creepy horror about a single mother who moves to the Irish countryside after a separation, but begins to suspect that her son may be an imposter.

As his behaviour becomes increasingly unpredictable, a series of terrifying events start occurring in their local town, and she discovers that a mysterious sink hole in the forest behind their house may be related. An unoriginal premise delivered with chilling effectiveness, and the "mental breakdown or something paranormal" trope is always a goodie.
