Our take
An MA 15+ Blumhouse horror film about a widow menaced by a mysterious woman after her husband's death. Classification cites terror, bloody images, suicide-related content and one f-word. Flashbacks to a fatal crash and a rifle suicide attempt hit hard emotionally. Suited to ages 15+.
Uplifting themes
The mother-child bond and facing grief matter by the end Ramona fights to protect her kids while she struggles emotionally
Story (may spoil tone)
