Synopsis:

When a man (Wes Bentley) wakes up strapped to a bed and with no memory, he is greeted by a mysterious and sinister woman (Kate Bosworth) claiming to be his wife.

Venturing around the derelict household, he finds traces of blood, unexplained, unusual objects and grows increasingly suspicious and afraid of the mysterious woman.

Stumbling across the cold corpse of another man, bound and locked in the basement, he realises how deep and dangerous the web of lies and deceit go, but suddenly, all is black, and when he awakes again he is a prisoner, trapped and unable to move. It is only then that the electric shocks begin and the true nature of his wife is revealed…

We like it because:

As two of Hollywood’s top character actors, Kate Bosworth and Wes Bentley are perfectly cast here and bring the film’s unique, killer concept to life.

Kate relishes going against type as the malicious and murderous ‘wife’, while Bentley continues his long tradition of unbalanced, mysterious roles by playing the man with no clue who he is (or, more disturbingly, what his supposed spouse is capable of).

It’s a concept that flips the idea of the happy all-American home on its head, and plays on both psychological and visceral horror. The result is something completely new – a terrifying thrill-ride from its mysterious opening seconds to its grisly conclusion.

Director Michael Polish perfectly handles the tension, with help from a stunning production design that adds layers to the skewed and surreal nightmare.
