Danny and Michael Philippou direct Billy Barratt, Sora Wong and Sally Hawkins in this Australian psychological horror where two orphaned teens find themselves placed with the wrong foster mum.

Unnerving and unsettling. The performances are top tier. It does use various forms of child abuse to put its Hansel And Gretel protagonists through the wringer. And that maybe stops it from being as rewatchable as Talk To Me. The kitchen knife sequence alone is just brilliant shock. No holds barred horror.
