This supernatural horror disrupts the life of quiet Doctor Faraday (Gleeson), when he’s called to the place where his mother once worked as a housemaid, and where Ruth Wilson’s Caroline and her brother are haunted by something that will soon pull in the good doctor, as well (Here’s hoping it’s Ruth). Scheduled for an August 31st release.
