There's always been something wrong with Esther.

202299 min6.6 / 10

A dark, tension-driven thriller about a psychopathic imposter infiltrating a family, built on sustained suspense and graphic violence rather than psychological depth.

After escaping from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Leena Klammer travels to America by impersonating Esther, the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But when her mask starts to slip, she is put against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous “child” at any cost.
