• The story follows siblings Meg and Noah, who discover a long-missing neighbor’s body in their parents’ basement and choose to conceal it, triggering escalating fallout.
• Performances draw the most praise, with Josh Gad and Anthony Carrigan frequently singled out, and Kaya Scodelario noted as a tense, unpredictable anchor.
