A young couple with a seven-month-old son move into the house of their dreams – a grand, old fixer-upper – but their perfect life is soon put under pressure when the father begins to see ghostly figures on the baby monitor, leading to some rather obsessive behaviour, in de la Iglesia’s decidedly creepy, thoroughly unpredictable, and surprisingly perceptive little ghost story.
