A refugee couple from South Sudan, looking for asylum in England, faces an evil that lurks in every corner.
This film passed me by completely at the time of his debut, but now, during festivals where it caught the attention of critics and general audience (namely at BAFTA, where the director Remi Weekes won the Outstanding Debut by a British Director award) I finally watched it.
It's a distinct and non-standard horror film, where fear and tension are perfectly balanced. The question of the supernatural can be interpreted in several ways, and this is a good thing.
The migration issue is present since the beginning until the very end, but I do not believe that it is another film about this problem, but rather a story about people, their fears, their beliefs and their survival instinct.
All actions have consequences, and bad ones have their ghosts always present.
