A true-crime writer with a fading career moves his family into a house tied to an unsolved case, hoping the story will restore his name. Among the belongings he finds is a box of home movies. The film is a slow, dread-driven chiller built around looking at what should stay unseen.
Why it matters in cinema history
A well-known example of the 2010s turn toward patient, sound-led supernatural horror, drawing on 1970s dread and the cursed-footage tradition of the Ring era.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a film about looking: who is watching what, through which device, and what the watching costs.
