In the suffocating heat of Sacramento, a sweet-faced landlady named Dorothea opens her doors to society’s forgotten souls, offering them a small kindness that hides a chilling, systematic evil. As her boarders begin to vanish one by one, the garden out back tells a dark tale of buried truth beneath blooming roses. Director Chad Ferrin masterfully builds a slow-burning dread where each cup of tea could be a last goodbye, and every warm smile masks a predator’s calculation. This is not just a true-crime horror; it’s a unsettling glimpse into how trust becomes the deadliest bait, leaving you staring at your neighbors with newfound fear. You will never look at a friendly old woman the same way again.
