Horror/Borrowed

This one is hard to review as not to say too much.

Jess is an actress, and not doing so well. One day she finds a little boy and fears for his life and then all hell breaks loose. His dad wants him back and then go on the run.

But before that, blood, gore, wtf is happening? This is not done by a human. The things she sees? All while knowing she should go to the ER from a previous injury.

Sometimes being good is not the best way to deal with things.

Another one that felt a bit surreal as the horror not creeps up on them but smashes through them. But the horror never feels scary or like that. But it is more, will she make it out alive?

One night, Jess, a struggling actress, finds a five-year-old runaway hiding in the bushes outside her apartment. After a violent, bloody encounter with the boy's father, she and the boy find themselves running for their lives.

As they attempt to evade the boy's increasingly desperate father, horrifying incidents of butchery follow them. At first, Jess thinks she understands what they're up against, but she's about to learn there's more to these surreal and grisly events than she could've ever imagined.

And that when the wolf finally comes home, none will be spared.
