I'm sorry but whaaaaa? The model is a kind of immortal... evil genius... Was she in June's school photo because June was in on it, or because this was an omen? Do they harvest the babies to feed their eternal youth?! We just need to know more!!! This is not a review really.

It's all about Gaby Hoffmann's performance. She does excellent in an otherwise pretty mediocre film.

The very talented Gaby Hoffmann takes the lead in Lyle, the Rosemary's Baby inspired thriller about a woman dealing with the loss of her child.Written and directed by Stewart Thorndike, this female centric tale is a wonderful example of a low budget horror movie that is more concerned with mood and characters than with scares. There are no effects, no jump scares and nothing that screams horror but the psychological nightmare Hoffmann's character of Leah goes through will sit with you for a while.Highly recommended.

There wasn't anything new nor amazing, but it still had its suspense and tension, and a very good performance from Gaby Hoffmann. Still, it was a good effort to try and create new women oriented films, and in this case horror films, therefore I look forward for her next one.

With a gripping performance by Gaby Hoffmann... the first feature by its writer-director is a winningly unsettling genre exercise whose style and polish belie the constraints of its microbudgeted five-day shoot.

Competently played all round and with some effective stylistic elements, this is a film that could do with a bit more ambition of its own but that still handles itself well enough, and very impressively indeed for something shot in mere days.

Writer-director Stewart Thorndike works wonders on a micro-budget production shot only in five days. This debut intimates the promise of even greater things to come from Thorndike.

Aided by cinematographer Grant Greenberg's visual mastery, Gaby Hoffman has you on the edge of your seat as her paranoia grows in leaps and bounds, especially as you watch her run through the streets, scamper down staircases, and Skype.

The answers the movie provides aren't as satisfying as its mysteries, but it's a creepy little surprise.
