Is she real? Is she alive? Is she a figment of imagination? And just why are the lights always out? Caring about her, Bret gets involved in the family drama as the two take Martin to Rebecca’s apartment where fear starts to take hold of Rebecca as Martin tells tales of Diana.įorcing a showdown between Rebecca and Sophie over Martin, truths start to reveal themselves with everything revolving around Diana. Rebecca has her own issues going on with boyfriend Bret a man who clearly loves her and wants to make a commitment, something Rebecca shies away from allegedly due to her father’s leaving when she was young. Thanks to his mother’s behavior, Martin is also not sleeping at night but rather, during the day in class, prompting a call to Rebecca when Sophie can’t be found. On questioning his mother about who she’s talking to, her answer is always the same, “my friend, Diana.” But it’s not just talking that’s apparently happening. Ironically, Sophie is not sleeping and Martin hears her talking all night long in her bedroom. She and Sophie are just this side of complete estrangement thanks to Sophie’s ongoing mental illness and her refusal to take meds.īlaming the leaving of her first husband and then the death of her second husband Paul for her illness, as Rebecca starts to discover – and as it appears Paul was investigating at the time of his death – Sophie’s illness goes back to her childhood and her time in a mental institution where she made a friend named Diana. Rebecca long ago left home and has been on her own since 16 or 17, with her only family tie being Gabriel. Sophie, now widowed, is mother by her first husband to 20-something Rebecca, and Martin. It transcends the genre thanks to ingenuity, technical polish and hair-raising terror. Sandberg from script by Sandberg and Eric Heisserer based on a short film by Sandberg.
