See the films the platforms disagree about most →A mild-mannered American mathematician and his wife move to her remote childhood home in the English countryside. Their presence incites the resentment and aggression of the local workmen, who begin a campaign of intimidation that starts with subtle cruelty and escalates into terrifying violence. The academic is gradually pushed to his absolute limit, forcing him to confront the primal nature of survival he never knew he possessed.
