Robert OkakaA social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she ever expected. The twist of the movie will leave you glued to your seat. I personally felt chills because I find horror movies with kids the most terrifying. The 1-hour and 49 min thrill and gripping of my chair were totally worth it.
Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) is a social worker living in Oregon who is assigned to investigate the family of Lillith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland), a troubled ten-year-old whose school grades have declined due to an emotional rift with her parents, Edward and Margaret Sullivan (Callum Keith Rennie and Kerry O’Malley). Emily suspects that the parents have been abusing Lillith for her lack of obedience and begins to investigate the family further, questioning Lillith about her parents and planning a visit to the family’s home. When Lillith is interviewed by Emily’s boss and is too intimidated to answer his questions honestly, Emily visits Lillith at her school. She gives her her home phone number, telling her to reach out if she is being hurt or needs help.
Her suspicion is later confirmed when Lillith calls Emily in the middle of the night, informing her that her parents are coming to kill her. With the help of Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane), Emily intercepts and captures Edward and Margaret before they can incinerate Lillith by trapping her in their home oven and baking her alive.
