After they lose their third child, a young couple decide to try adoption as a way of filling the gap in their lives. They instantly take to a young girl named Esther (Fuhrman), who at first seems to be the perfect well behaved child, but soon accidents start to happened when she's around, and the mother starts to suspect that there might be more to Esther than there first seemed.

This is a surprisingly engrossing thriller that has some great paced action. We aren't thrown into the mayhem that soon comes to the surface in this weirdly fascinating movie, but once we're in the thick of the horror there's really no going back. Well worth checking out, and try not to spoil the imaginative twist in the tale.
