Description:
Siblings, Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) and Angela (Florence Pugh) run a profitable ghost-busting racket; swindling the bereaved with fake detection equipment and Angela's paranormal 'visions.' Hired to investigate a haunted old foster home, the team uncover its terrifying past — young girls brutally slaughtered, mouths stitched shut, silenced by a sadistic killer. Angela's on the edge, sleepless, strung out and losing her mind, no longer certain what's actually real; convinced she hears the girls crying out to her from the darkness...
