The movie begins with Benedict and Claire as a married couple, Dawn and David, living in a remote English village in a "fixer upper" home on the outskirts of town.
One day, the couple has a visitor-Nick, David's brother. He has spent some time in the Army and is home for a visit.
In the middle of the night, Nick has a nightmare. Turns out that Nick has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and night terrors. It quickly becomes evident that this will be anything but a routine visit.
The movie is a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. I found the movie to be quite depressing. Neither Cumberbatch nor Foy could save the movie. The character's lives are a wreck, which matches the dilapidated home they live in.
At the end of the movie, I felt like I'd wasted 2 hours of my life. It's dark and depressing, and heavy. In this instance, this movie is a benchmark for viewers to feel, "Well, at least my life isn't THAT bad."
Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Acorn, Vudu, iTunes, 2 stars.
