Short description
An eight-year-old boy named Peter hears a persistent, mysterious tapping coming from inside his bedroom wall. While his parents dismiss the noise as a product of his imagination, Peter's growing fear leads him to believe they are concealing a dangerous secret. This tension causes him to question whether he can trust the people caring for him.
This American horror film was directed by Samuel Bodin and written by Chris Thomas Devlin. The cast includes Woody Norman as Peter, Lizzy Caplan as Carol, and Antony Starr as Mark, with Cleopatra Coleman, Luke Busey, and Aleksandra Dragova in supporting roles.

Film critics gave the movie a rating of 5.8/10 from 93 reviews, which is slightly lower than the scores provided by the general audience on both platforms.
What's left behind the scenes
- Despite the film being produced by such heavyweights in modern cinema as Seth Rogen, it was released with virtually no marketing campaign. Regardless, critics and audiences received it well, especially considering that the premiere took place in the middle of summer, almost simultaneously with the premieres of Greta Gerwig's adventure comedy "Barbie" (2023) and Christopher Nolan's biographical drama "Oppenheimer" (2023), and a release closer to Halloween would have better suited the film's overall atmosphere.
- Director Samuel Bodin later said that he specifically wanted to use only practical effects in the creation of the film (effects produced physically, i.e., without the use of computer imagery or other post-production methods).
