A young man and his three siblings have for years kept their mother’s death a secret in order to stay together in the title family mansion. It’s worked so far, but now a sinister presence is threatening to expose their scheme. This well crafted and beautifully shot creeper, the directorial debut of Orphanage screenwriter Sergio G. Sanchez, remains compelling even after the Big Secret is revealed, thanks to a solid cast and a few unforeseen plot twists. (110 min)
