Horror Joan. Kat. Rose. Three girls united by a series of mysterious events. While Joan drives across frozen roads in the middle of the night, Kat and Rose are at an all girls boarding school waiting for their parents to come pick them up for Christmas vacation. As the minutes tick by, a disturbing sense of doom takes hold of the images. Pure psychological horror starring three up and coming actresses.

	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Leydon Variety	"Osgood Perkins impresses — and scares — with his chilly debut feature about young women and dark forces."
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Setting a bunch of people loose on the screen and telling them to mope until something supernatural emerges, then calling it a tone poem about loss, is no way to keep an audience entertained. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		A.A. Dowd AV Club	"The result is a horror movie that’s at once clearly indebted to its genre predecessors (...) and stylistically distinctive enough to feel new."
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] represents a remarkable debut. Suffused with insidious menace and suspense but rarely ever resorting to cheap sonic shock tactics or gore for gore's sake"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"I found myself actually squirming a bit in my seat, downright uncomfortable by the rising dread that Perkins creates. The film also looks amazing"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"It's not the most original premise for a horror movie, but Perkins' debut is filled with atmospheric dread."
