YOUR RATING

Andrea Riseborough is spellbinding as the distraught mother, haunted by the death of her young daughter, who develops an all-consuming obsession over the neighbor's girl who she believes is the reincarnation of her child.

When new neighbors move in, Laura is awakened from her mundane daily routine of errands and exercise. She becomes transfixed by their young daughter, Megan. Megan's parents Marie and Chris, initially don't seem to mind as Laura offers Megan a ride home from school and an invitation to dinner.

Her husband Brendon grows concerned as his wife's infatuation with the young girl spirals into increasingly erratic behavior. Eerily, Megan seemingly knows far too many specific details of their family life and displays similar mannerisms of their dead daughter.

Is the trauma of losing her child causing Laura to lose grip on reality, or is Megan truly the reincarnation of her daughter?

I Think Children's Reviews Are Sinking Good Movies

This is a good movie that has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86.%. On IMDB it has a 5.7 and when I read the reviews there are a lot of comments about it being 'boring' and 'dragging'. It's occurred to me these are things children say all the time. Lately, I've also noticed that any grown up movies that have any sophistication, at all, are getting bad scores on IMDB.

Maybe IMDB should start separating reviews from people 16 and under so they're not ruining the scores of good adult fare. So, endeth my rant.

This movie is a very good, low key, thriller that has you guessing right up to the end. When what's really going on is revealed it's a palm to the forehead moment. Andrea Riseborough is fantastic and this is a very good first feature film from writer/director, Stacey Gregg. Definitely worth a watch!
