At its core, it’s a film about the inescapable weight of loss and the eerie sense that something, or someone, may be lurking just beyond what we perceive. While independent in scale, Take From Me doesn’t look or feel like it, delivering an engrossing narrative and a strong sense of place that lingers long after the credits roll.

The film follows John, played by Ethan McDowell, a man haunted by grief and struggling to move forward. When a mysterious young woman purchases his old farmhouse,...
