Recently widowed, a single mother leaves her two pre-teen sons home alone so she can attend a work function. What starts off as a fun night for the boys begins spiraling out of control once an entity starts messing with them in increasingly malevolent ways, kicking their sibling rivalry into full gear via mistrust, paranoia, and abject terror. As playful as it is mean-spirited, Mexican filmmaker’s Emilio Portes’s return to horror after his well-received 2017 film BELZEBUTH plays like an early Amblin production from Hell in all the most delightfully nasty ways. —Matt Barone
