Plot
Set in rural New England in the 1930s, twin boys are born. Niles is undeniably good, but Holland seems to have something of an evil streak. Despite their different dispositions, Holland and Niles are very close. However, after Holland passes away following a strange illness, an eerie string of events unfolds. Is Holland really dead? Appearances can be deceiving...
As in the tradition of Hitchcock, though certainly a horror film, there is little blood or gore, but every chilling event is clearly communicated to the viewers via camera angles and sound.
