Lyle (2015) is a movie currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman who recently moved with her partner into a new apartment building. Shortly after moving in her son passes away. In her grief she does some research on the building and uncovers a trend of babies dying there. Her paranoia becomes greater and greater partially as she finds more evidence and partly because of her pregnancy hormones as she's preparing to have another baby. Could there be a satanic cult in her hotel that wanted her son and may want her next baby too or is it all in her mind?

This movie is directed by Stewart Thorndike in his directorial debut and stars Gaby Hoffmann (Field of Dreams), Ingrid Jungermann (See You Next Tuesday), Rebecca Street (Jawbreaker) and Kim Allen (Violent Tendencies).

This movie has a strong modern day Rosemary's Baby feel to it. The characters are very interesting and the circumstances are well presented. The horror elements are subtle to the very end and then exceed expectations. The acting by Hoffmann was solid and the party scene was very well executed. I enjoyed the very ending and how circumstances played out.

Overall this is a very well done 1 hour and 2 minute low budget feature. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
