Simon (Alex Draper) has custody of his 12-year-old son Finn (Charlie Tacker) as a punishment after Finn is caught on some disreputable internet sites by his mom (Arija Bareikis). Simon is renovating a farm house in Vermont and it's the perfect way to try and rebuild the strained bond between father and son. Except the house isn't exactly empty. The previous tenet, Lydia (Carol Stanzione), died in the house and the more Simon repairs, the stronger Lydia's presence seems to be.
Okay, so I don't want to detract from the horror elements, because there are many, but this wound up being so wholesome?? 100% not what I was expecting but an absolute joy to watch. No gore, no violence, just some solid atmospherics and mind-fuckery. 10/10, no notes. It's a Shudder original so that's the only way you're going to get it unless you rent or buy. It's definitely worth it if you're in the mood for something with a happy(-ish) ending.
