WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Laura (Riseborough), a woman whose young daughter Josie died some years ago, becomes fascinated with a new family that moves in next door, particularly with their own daughter Megan (Dornan) who is about the same age as Josie. However, Laura soon notices that Megan’s disturbing behaviour may hint at something supernatural, which leads to severe obsession that drives her over the edge…
