This is a film that could have been written by Franz Kafka. It's a chilling
horror story about a man and his wife caught in a trap with no way out. They
don't know who has trapped them or why. The doors to their prison seem to be
open, but every attempt to walk out is met with frustration.
Tom and Gemma visit an estate agent to inquire about a house. They're taken to
a house which is surrounded by identical houses. When they attempt to drive
home they get lost and can't find the way. Whichever way they drive, they
end up in front of the same house. Frustrated, they decide to stay the night
in the house, but unseen forces are controlling their destiny. Every morning a
box of food is placed in front of the house. Then a baby is left on their doorstep,
but it isn't a normal child. He grows rapidly into a teenager within a few
months. The boy, who isn't given a name, acts so strangely that they don't
know whether to love him or hate him.
The film is unsettling. While watching it I felt revolted at times. I thought to myself that it was disgusting and I didn't want to watch any more, but I was drawn in with morbid fascination. It's an excellent film with awe-inspiring performances by the two main actors.
