About the film:

A horror-thriller from the mind of best-selling author Stephen King, directed by Rob Savage with a screenplay from A Quiet Place (2018) writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods with Black Swan (2010) writer Mark Heyman.

High school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will, a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.
