Plot
A serial killer kidnaps a young boy after murdering his mother, then raises him to be his accomplice. After years in captivity, the boy must choose between escaping or following in his captor's bloody footprints.
Sinekatalog’s take
A boy raised by a killer must decide whether to escape or follow in his footsteps. It is bleak, disturbing and more interested in psychology than gore. Strong performances make it worth considering for strong-stomached thriller fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
