Renee Unger (Kris Carr), a good wife and expectant mother, lives with her husband, Eric (Timothy Altmeyer), in a quiet Ohio town where there aren't many secrets. But everything changes when Eric's younger brother, Colson (Todd Swenson), recently released from prison after turning 21, comes to live with the family. Colson's strange behavior starts to unnerve Renee, while Eric clams up at any mention of why his brother was imprisoned. As the mystery deepens, so does Renee's sense of dread.

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
kosmasp Hidden as I almost didn't find it or as the title that it played in Germany (at the Fantasy Film Festival) last year. I think (The) Hidden is the better title, more accurate to this movie. It's the first feature length movie from director Brett W. Wagner and as such it's not that bad.At least the camera and the story are good. The actors do their best, but still it won't get you as excited as you could be. Maybe his sophomore effort will be a bit better and he will have a better script to work with. The movie is a little bit to predictable then, for you to enjoy it more ...
VelvetLane First-time director/screenwriter Brett Wagner pulls some compelling performances from a top-notch cast, in a film that is both suspenseful and nuanced.Wagner uses observant, quirky, but not self-consciously "indie" touches to create complex characters, where ciphers might have sufficed. These folks inhabit a morally ambiguous universe where the mind-bending effects of chronic guilt and corrosive karma cause them to act in unsavory--but deeply human--ways. The spare, mostly-acoustic soundtrack supports the soulful mood throughout.This film was one of the stand-outs of a recent Gen Art Festival in NYC.
kdrury Saw this at the Cleveland Film Festival. The film looks lush, with excellent photography by Chad Davidson. Director/writer Brett Wagner assembled a talented cast and used a sure hand to tell his story. The setting, rural Ohio, is interesting and unusual and the plot kept me guessing.
