Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

4. 7-8Intense
5. 9-10Extreme

4. 7-8Intense

4. 7-8Intense

Psychological
7.0 out of 10,Intense
Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
Psychological 7.0 is intense (7-8 on the scale):
- Disturbing ideas about the mind, identity or reality
- Present throughout, and leaves you uneasy long after
1. 1-2Mild

5. 9-10Extreme

How the overall score of 6.5 is worked out

A film doesn't need to do every kind of horror to be scary, so the overall score only uses its three strongest categories. Any of those three scoring 3 or lower counts as zero and takes off another0.5.
