A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.

(Origin Australia, Director&Writer Jennifer Kent, Production 2009~2012-14 -> Release Date 112814, Budget $2.5 Million -> Box Office $3.9 Million, Duration 1 hr 33 mnts, Genre - Drama, Horror, Supernatural, Thriller)

+ A heartfelt, humane story that seamlessly correlates with the horror element psychologically and physically, played in real and complex terror compared to the typical films in the genre

+ Both protagonists give mesmerising performances that play with the ambiguity wonderfully while the director made her first movie solidly with great direction and beautiful composition
