With his marriage fraying, Blake persuades his wife Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit his remote childhood home in rural Oregon. As they arrive at the farmhouse in the dead of night, they're attacked by an unseen animal and barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. But as the night stretches on, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable.

Pacing Verdict
The screenplay establishes a deliberate, atmospheric pace in Acts 1-2 that effectively builds dread, but the momentum becomes uneven in the extended and repetitive siege of the farmhouse (Acts 3-4). While the sensory perspective shifts are innovative, they slow the narrative drive at a point where tension should be escalating. The final act's chase and resolution feel somewhat rushed after the prolonged middle section, creating an imbalance within the five-act structure's rhythm.
