After a murky and confusing opening that sees a woman being terrorised by a creature in the dark, a young children's writer moves back into her childhood home with her husband and stepchildren (cute kid and antagonistic teen) only to find that her now-angry childhood imaginary friend has abandonment issues and latches onto the little girl. There are lots of ideas in play and a number of elements that have genuine potential, but they never quite gel and engage, and unfortunately the film's low budget did not seem to furnish lighting and script editing. It is a very dreary film to watch, with little happening of any consequence, a runaround-in-the-dark third act and a general air of disinterest in what is essentially another dull and undercooked Blumhouse stick-a-family-in-a-house cheapies.
