Following the death of their father, a brother and sister are introduced to their new sibling by their foster mother, only to learn that she has a terrifying secret.
i found this while dickin around and had it in the backlog, but remy requested it so i moved it up the list for adding to our plex.
i had to take a break in the middle. i got upset— one, it’s like watching a true crime unfold. two, the manipulation, the gaslighting, the incredible unfairness of it all— it hit me like a car. three? watching laura undermine andy and piper’s relationship, taking advantage of her blindness to do so, telling absolute lies!
watching a child get punched… and the assailant just scampering away.
oh man good thing i have therapy today.
the horrible lengths one would go to for their own child, while being blind to the pain of others. willfully blind. ignoring it.
i kept watching in the hopes her plans would be foiled and andy could save piper.
sometimes horror movies leave you with that catharsis. other times it just. hrm.
it’s obviously about how grief affects people. how ignorance can make things harder. protecting someone by not telling them everything— that could put a wrench in things. knowing the truth of a loved one after they passed.
it’s a good movie, it was just— well, ptsd does shit.
