About this episode
Writer and director Bryan Bertino gained a huge following in horror after he served as the writer and director to the 2008 home invasion film “The Strangers,” which terrified audiences and left everybody in the theater feeling like this could happen to them. Bertino followed that up with the found footage film “Mockingbird” and then the 2016 movie “The Monster,” which kept him once again focused on a claustrophobic scenario featuring only a couple of key characters. Working alongside producer Sonny Mallhi, Bertino decided to turn his attention back to his home state of Texas for his latest project, which was actually filmed in his family’s house where he would often go to find inspiration while writing. Set against the backdrop of a sheep and goat farm, a pair of siblings return home to lend a hand to their mother, who has been caring for their ailing father. Despite their mother telling them not to come, the brother and sister defy her request and show up anyways but they soon find out what’s lurking inside the home is the reason why they should have stayed away.
