WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In an attempt to escape her troubled past, Sarah O’Neill (Kerslake) moves to a backwood rural town with her young son Chris (Markey) to start a new life. However, a terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbour shatters her sense of security, throwing her into a state of paranoia and mistrust whilst Chris beings displaying disturbing behaviour, which may be linked to an ominous sinkhole buried deep in the forest outside their home…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This utterly terrifying horror already had audiences wetting themselves with fear at Sundance, and it’s bound to leave a mark when UK audiences get a chance to experience it for themselves.
