Starring: Kika Magalhaes, Will Brill
Director: Nicolas Pesce

Premise:
Life on an isolated country farm turns into a nightmare for a young girl with a killer arrives at their doorstop. He murders the mother before the father can get home to save her. They keep the man captive for years as the young girl takes care of him and her ailing, aging father. After the father dies the now young woman must live life on her own.

My Take:
I guess this could be described as art house horror. It's a bleak tale of psychotic breakdown after a serious traumatic event. The lead actress is mesmerizing to watch
