A paranoid analog-horror film that weaponizes 1990s nostalgia and the intimacy of parent-child care to create sustained dread and visceral threat.

A single mother thinks she's found the key to calming her child down – a VHS copy of a strange children's program named Mr. Crocket's World. However, a darker, bloodier secret waits to invade their home from inside the tape.
