Dark Circles
Movie • 2013 • Horror
ReportWhen new parents Alex and Penny retreat from the city and move into a place outside town, the stress and massive sleep-deprivation caused by their infant has both of them seeing things in the house that may or may not exist. Persistent sightings of a strange woman has each of them wondering if they are suffering from hallucinations, or if their new home holds a dark, supernatural presence. As their fragile grasp on reality spirals into delirium, Alex and Penny find themselves nearly helpless to deal with the horrific truth of what is really going in this house.

Not deliberate. Characters honestly believe what is happening isn't real and try to convince each other and others of this.

A baby is left alone in the crib for an entire day, during which they are not fed or changed. This is by accident.
