A young couple pull one last robbery (when has that ever gone wrong?!) and quickly run out of petrol on the run. They find themselves breaking into the worst possible house, owned by a creepy couple who return shortly after.
The over-the-top acting is totally appropriate (luckily for Jeffrey Donovan) and serves to make this a great, not-too-violent or gory film.
Well worth a watch, but avoid the trailer!

Locked away for everyone's safety as she is thought to have serious psychosis, she becomes catatonic.
A doctor who specialises in brain disorders comes along after a length of time and spots the wrongful diagnosis and that this young woman has a rare form of encephalitis.
Explained as one side of her brain being on fire.
This is well done and thoughtfully played around some difficult issues.
