Shot with a mostly female crew, Alexandra Latishev Salazar’s sophomore feature uses horror tropes to explore the psychological effects of physical abuse. Eleven-year-old Masha and her mother Elisa move to her demented grandmother’s house to take care of her. The family acts as if Masha’s father is dead, something Masha actively denies. When Elisa feels a threatening presence around the house she cuts Marsha off from the outside world to protect her.
