This dark horror film has two stories going on. In the first, Kat (Kiernan Shipka of MAD MEN) and Rose (Lucy Boynton) are young women at a boarding school. While the others are going home for Christmas break they both end up staying in the empty building, waiting for their parents for arrive. Rose had lied and told the folks to pick her up later because she wanted to go on a date with a boy. Kat simply hasn't heard from her parents and thinks that something horrible happened to them. Over the next few days weird things happen and Kat begins to become more and more disturbed. In the second story, which takes place a decade later, a young woman named Joan (Emma Roberts) is traveling alone in the Winter and gets offered a ride by an older married couple who are on their way to the same town where the boarding school is. As they talk we find out that there's a connection between them and the first story, which makes you really want to know what happened in the first story. Overall, it's a very grim, serious tale in which there isn't a lot of talking and the viewer has to fill in a lot of the information and make the connections. It is one of the better horror flicks of the year.
