    It's ultimately just too much of a stretch to totally work, which is a shame because Hall and Roth give phenomenal performances.

    Though slightly mysterious, and a bit unhinged here and there, this is mainly a dull and repetitive affair. Even the supposed "shocking" ending is nothing to really get excited about. The acting is excellent, and I do respect the efforts of the main characters, but the story is barely interesting and could/should have been truncated. The longer it drags on, the more the same things happen over and over again, the more I found myself reaching for the remote to fast-forward. My sympathy and empathy for the female character dwindled, and I just wanted the whole thing to be over. And speaking of endings: if they make no sense, or aren't wrapped up perfectly that does not bother me; in fact, I find that sort of thing quite refreshing. My issue is with the movie as a whole. Overall it is simply an uninteresting film that I regret taking the time to watch.

    Mala, aburrida, lenta. La santa trinidad de películas bazofias.

    Plot created hoping to attract some attention, hoping to participate in some festivals, there are some terrible scenes where the actors cannot be convincing perhaps because they probably failed to integrate well with this project, totally incomprehensible, as I said At the beginning created specifically to try to attract some attention, 7 nominations no prize !!!!

    Little suspense. Totally drawn out. Unsatisfying ending. Nice acting and art direction.

    This movie was absolutely a let down. Some crazed rendition of a spousal abuse PSA.

    This film really adds up to nothing. Implausibility is usually not an issue in horror films; you suspend your disbelief. But this one has such an absurd premise that my skepticism made it impossible to engage in the story. The entire film is actually just a setup for the inevitable body horror scene. It's pointless.

    A cut above the usual. Classy all the way through, but definitely not an uplifting film.

    Shocking and morbid, but kept me thinking long after the credits. Some of the most depraved psychological torture I've seen in a film. Stellar acting by Rebecca Hall, an actress to watch for in darker genre films, and the always strong Tim Roth in a way you've never seen him. A beast of a metaphor for violent and abusive maternal experiences.

    Rebecca Hall and Shudder present a story of a woman trying to escape but is still caught with the horrors of yesterday being brought back Hall is Margaret, a single mother in Albany with a successful career and a loving daughter named Abbie about to leave for college But she's also sleeping with a married man Things turn dark though when a man Tim Roth as David shows up from her long forgotten past Clearly something happened that makes her quite terrified seeing him again Margaret intends to keep herself and her daughter safe from whatever this man might be planning on doing But her psychosis and emotional stability begins to wane There's a big scene of Hall pretty much divulging the reason she is afraid of this man, I gotta say this is some powerhouse acting on her behalf It's allowing the audience to soak up all the pain and misery This works as a sharp psychological thriller not knowing if Margaret is too traumatized or ideally out of her mind The ending is also very brutal but quite cathartic, heck it might even be the most memorable scene This is another one of those films that delivers a ruthless tale of domestic abuse and psychological trauma For many women this is an impossible thing to deal with lest even forget and when faced with it again is even more daunting The suffocating control is almost never ending The script is very grounded in reality but again when it all wraps up it's up to the viewer to decide on how they should interpret This story is all about a woman undone because of one man's presence being a threat and no one else can help Yes this feels uneven as a whole not making everything entirely clear cut but again Rebecca Hall's committed performance is the high point This is pure horror for the mind
