We live here a strange story that happens to a woman named Sarah, a mother who predicts the behavior of her young son exciting recently. That story began where that mother believed that a wicked and possibly supernatural power had surpassed her young son on all sides. This mother fears everything that happens. Sarah must choose between the instinct of mother in love with miles and her protection and the urgent need to investigate everything that happens. Perhaps the past is a real cause behind everything that happens.

The emotion wasn't quite as earned as it should've been...but, for the majority of the run-time, I was impressed with the craftsmanship on display.
