Synopsis

After a young, middle-class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly the most active in the middle of the night.

The Fear Score take

This is fear stripped to its foundations: a static camera, a dark bedroom, and the long minutes you spend waiting for something to move. It weaponizes the hours when you are least defended, turning sleep itself into exposure. The terror is patient, cumulative, and almost entirely psychological.
