Emotional terrorism

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2018)

Creepy, taut and gripping. An emotional and comprehension rescue may be in order if you let yourself get deep in this traumatic thriller. A dysfunctional family descends into a downward spiral soon after the passing of the family matriarch. A strong, unexplained presence seems to linger. Reclusive in life, she haunts her clan in death with more than just occasional, vague unease. Annie (Toni Colette) is tormented by sleep walking and deep distress from emotional guilt instilled by her demanding mother. It is as if she and her cold distant psychiatrist husband, withdrawn teenage son and disturbed younger daughter have been cursed . Can one old woman have so much power from the grave? The bleak, nightmarish finale may be tough to diagnose. Your nerves are due a scare.
The cast also features: Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd and Gabriel Byrne.
