CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 7.6

After losing their newborn, a diplomat secretly adopts another baby without telling his wife. As the child grows, unsettling deaths and disturbing signs begin to surround the family, prompting the father and a photographer to investigate the boy’s origins and confront an increasingly frightening possibility.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like atmospheric supernatural horror, ominous family mysteries, and gradual suspense, especially in the vein of The Dead Zone; Not for you if you need fast pacing or modern scares.
