Diana Prieto is pregnant and taking care of her autistic son Martin has become overwhelming. She has no one to help her while her husband Tomas spends months working in Asia. Diana's at her breaking point with Martin when Luz, a gifted caregiver from the Philippines, steps in to help. Martin quickly begins improving under Luz's supervision, but Diana's worried that he's only being taught to speak Filipino. Diana begins to suspect that Luz is using the language barrier and voodoo to turn Martin against Diana and into something far more sinister...

Like the other reviewers are saying the ending is lacking, but over all it's definitely not what I would call a boring movie. If you've seen it all like me you seek out movies that are a bit different. This movie at least delivered in that aspect of not being the same repetitive thing that you see day in and day out. So while the ending is abrupt and not the best, it still won't be a waste of time to watch.
