A grieving couple moves to a remote Irish village in the wake of their baby daughter’s death. They soon take in an orphaned autistic girl, only to become involved in a series of strange occurrences.
Martha is an emotionally fragile mother who moves to a remote Irish village with her husband Tomas following the tragic death of their baby daughter. Whilst there, the couple decides to take in a disturbed and orphaned autistic girl called Daisy. Uncommunicative and greatly scarred by the violent death of her parents, Daisy gradually warms to her new surroundings. But, as a series of strange occurrences begin to be linked to the little girl, Martha and Tomas begin to hear rumors from the locals that Daisy might be something far more malevolent than she seems.
“There is that tension in the air that never leaves due to the hauntingly beautiful countryside backdrop, the dark, bleak atmosphere, and the superb performance of the actors in the film.” – Horror Movie Reviews
“It is entertaining and between Samantha Morton’s touching acting and the beautiful Irish back drop it is well worth seeing.” – The Movie Scene
“It’s a tense, psychological thriller about a community taking itself to increasingly bizarre conclusions, and the audience is merely an extension of that Irish community. It was a great film.” – Wizzley
