A different kind of home invasion movie that touches on familiar themes, but to a deeper degree. Great performances.

Despite the predictability factor, there are still some redeeming qualities about the film.

Rated: 2.5

Whilst the truth is within the viewer's grasp, you're never quite sure where it's going to go next.

Motherly is highly recommended, but try to go in as cold as possible.

Rated: 4/5

Maternal instincts form the focus of this expertly acted, but slightly undercooked, mystery thriller.

Rated: 3/5

Structurally, it isn't particularly well delivered.

Estou entre o muito ruim e muito bom, uma adorável clichê previsível, e uma dublagem deplorável... Calma, péra aí, estava tudo muito conveniente forçado até que plot Twist deliciosamente surpreendente aparece com a reviravolta no meu coração, sarcástico e com um toque de sadismo inigualável... Adoro, suspense, drama, perseguições, sangue, mortes, bons ingredientes... Aquele sorrisinho sarcástico no final me pegou... Excelente...

Look it's not too bad a movie. Well acted but fairly predictable. If you are in the mood for a relatively short and brooding thriller (more so than a straight out horror), it's worth giving it a go.

Kate lives isolated in witness protection with her daughter after the latter's friend was murdered. But you know what they say about the past. Very well done home invasion thriller that places the focus on maternal love. A bit underdeveloped but loved the acting.

Very well acted and directed. At first I was expecting the usual tropes and there were some, but I didn't predict the end. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd recommend it ! 👍👍

This one was plodding and predictable. The performances were okay but the script, the direction, and the outcome were below par. So many other great films along this vein to watch. Don't bother.

It was okay... I figured out the twist before the ending. A lot of clues pointed in that direction. I wouldn't call it a compelling story. It's truly a time-filler.
