Overview

A troubled preteen is sent to an isolated boarding school housed in a creepy old mansion, where only a handful of other outcast students and two strict, unsettling adults remain. As strange incidents escalate and fear spreads through the small group, the newcomer must face personal anxieties and figure out what’s really happening just to make it through.

Insights

Will You Like This?

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a weird, unsettling mix of psychological drama and horror with a small cast, mounting dread, and a late surge of intensity; Not for you if you need constant scares or clear answers, and it may appeal to fans of Backtrack or The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Kids acting like adults is one of my (many) movie pet peeves, but other than that this turned out to be a surprisingly fun and good movie.

The Ace Face

Better than I expected. Some great young actors. Had me hooked from beginning to end. An unusual good storyline. Something different from the usual horror flicks.

I don''t think it''s a great movie, but it''s weirdness and unconventional plotting kept me watching. Worth a look, if only to make you thankful that you didn''t go to a boarding school like this one (I''m assuming).
