Description: "A teenager's picture-perfect family is torn apart when he uncovers unnerving evidence of a serial killer close to home."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 78%
What critics said: "Skiles's film doesn't care so much if you think you know how it ends, even if you're right. It's all about twisting the knife in the process of confirming those fears." — Vulture
