On screen, it seems to be an effort at psychological edginess but the potentials of the medium renders the play as bland as Isabelle. Go to Full Review

Jason R Oct 6 A taboo film involving incest between two sisters but have to say the actors did a great job in their roles here, Julie Walters surprised me as I think I've only seen her before this in BBC comedy series 'Dinnerladies' Joley Richardson did a great job as her character as it seems her characters mental health rapidly declines through the film probably worth a watch once See more Chwy B Apr 29 Its a Chilling movie with a strong atmosphere. While lagging at times with a slower and somewhat mild middle. The beginning and end hold a strong and disturbing scene. the introduction pulls you in with curiosity of what's to come, but is flat lined by the middle section. Though the middle carries strong performances creating tense and uncomfortable scenes, which are a highlight of the movie. But the ending takes the cake! An uncomfortable and disturbing scene to watch even though avoiding excessive gore. Its a good movie to recommend. See more Horror fan 4 06/17/2024 A very crazy and chilling story about 2 sister's love for one another. Avery good movie with great performances. See more Frans G 05/17/2024 In a pre-war rural town, two traumatised sisters work as housekeepers for a neurotic widow and her adult daughter. When the vital bond between the two sisters is in danger of being broken by the widow, it causes fatal consequences. A haunting film with very strong roles and physical scenes. See more 12/03/2023 Based on a true story, this is a twisted and shocking film that has a terrifying yet sad ending. It does lag somewhat at times, however the acting is excellent and paints a dark picture of 2 deranged sisters that do the unthinkable. See more Lovely P 04/11/2023 Quite disturbing, creepy and super weird... but the ending is good. Jodhi May and Joely Richardson's acting was great! 9/10 See more Read all reviews
