About this movie

In her stunning feature film debut, Elizabeth Olsen delivers an electrifying, star-is-born performance in this gripping psychological thriller that is far and away one of the year's best! After escaping from a dangerous cult and the watchful eye of its charismatic leader (Academy Award® Nominee John Hawkes), a young woman named Martha (Olsen) tries to reclaim a normal life with her family. But the haunting memories from Martha's past trigger a chilling paranoia — and nowhere seems safe as the fragile line between her reality and delusions begin to blur.

Ratings and reviews

Brilliant acting debut from Olsen who is one scarily talented lady. Skillfully produced to maintain the tension, this movie should become a favourite for all those fans of the non-traditional storyline... and will have you checking behind you as you leave the house, just in case ;)

Loved the movie but There I was not ending .. left you guessing

Builds the tension slowly but really well, but then....the movie is just over.
