The movie starts like found footage or a ghost hunter style, only to be a promo for an influencer to get views.

Then, it takes you to the house where Julie is, situated in a forest with an extensive security setup that goes off. After checking it, she see what could be her dog that got out, and she goes out to get it, only to fall on a log and later see her face taken off and dead.

We next meet Alice, a woman whom you meet afraid of getting pregnant, having sex with what appears to be her boyfriend, Charlie. We next see her at what we can see to be her job as a mobile veterinarian, where she goes to check out a dog, and soon is shot. Back in her truck, she gets a call, and then the next thing we know, we are on a flight to Minneapolis, where she had gone to hear the news that her mom was dead and was spotted by a kid with a drone.

Once we get to her late mom's house, we can see how well it looks to be paranoid about the outside world as Alice navigates the security system, then loses her keys, falls, gets up, and sees a dead fox with no face.

As the movie goes on, Alice tries to figure out exactly what’s going on. She watches VHS recordings of her childhood and has flashbacks to what was clearly an abusive upbringing. She even goes on a rant in her mom's dress and with a horrible makeup job as she relives the videos while watching.

The end is lackluster, as the final sequence is nothing more than a jump scare that reveals who’s behind the attacks at the house.

My Opinion of this movie is

For a horror movie, I could not get through this at all. While Olga Kurylenko does her best with a horribly written script and a film that’s supposed to look like Japanese-stylized horror, this movie falls short in every way, from the dialogue to the filming and sound, which are inconsistent and off track.

The story is patchy at best, and the film never establishes a sense of place for its confusing house/garden setting, nor does it connect to the characters. The emotional moments they do have are forced and unrelatable.
