Let's play hide and go kill...!

Horror

In early 20th century California, a young woman, Alicianne, takes a job as a nanny to a young girl, Rosalie Nordon, whose mother has recently died. On her way to the rural, secluded Nordon home, Alicianne meets a neighbor who warns her of the family's reputation. She soon meets the crabby, morbid Mr. Nordon, his awkward son Len, and the aloof Rosalie, who can seemingly animate objects when she is angry.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling atmosphere permeates this gothic tale. It's a slow descent into dread, where grief and the uncanny intertwine. The isolation of the rural setting amplifies the creeping sense of unease, making for a truly chilling experience.
