Tricia's husband has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister Callie comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him 'dead in absentia'. Tricia is reluctant, always holding out hope, but Callie is practical and wants her to move on. As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house.

Manages to be scary without ever showing you the monster. You will have questions at the end of the movie, and that's the point.

Could never do this with Kickstarter's new censorahip rules, but it blows my MIND this only had a budget of USD$70k.

Love Flanagan and u can see the beginnings of his genius, but it's not fully evolved with this one. Acting & plot a great, just a lil flat.

Good low budget, atmospheric, cosmic horror. Effective despite virtually no vfx.

Acting is so-so, but he story is memorable and a bit of a mind-bender.

Early evidence that Mike Flanagan was going to knock it out of the park someday. Suspenseful and engaging.

I love the plot, every creepy. I also love the writing. Kinda slow, but worth a watch.

Story is fantastic, I just was left in the dark to frequently. I do recommend a watch but it isn't my favorite film.
