the movie opens in the 1950s era we see
a boy named cody and his mom laura
traveling in her bright and shining car
cody was having a nightmare about
falling in water
laura was in search of a new house she
finds one in california
the house owner mr langtry hands her the
keys he inquires her about her son to
which she says he is sleeping in the car
here mrs langtry strangely stares at
laura
laura moves in and settles down
she starts staring at one old photo of a
lady
we will know about her soon
at night cody and laura slept in
different rooms
the next morning while laura was making
breakfast cody started roaming around
the house
he saw the adjacent pond and felt
something strange there
he thought there is something there
just then laura arrives there she was
slightly freaked
she drags him away and orders him not to
roam here without her saying so
at night she was watching a horror film
where a monster drags the lead actress
into the water
laura falls to sleep watching this where
she gets a nightmare
she feels the same movie monster
dragging her to the water
here she sees the same lady from the
photo who says don't be afraid
everything will be okay
laura wakes up to the sound of cody
screaming
laura checks on him who is clearly in
panic
he points at the window and says out
there i saw a monster
laura thinks of this as a nightmare as
just now she too had one
after making him sleep again laura calls
one doctor weaver
the doctor's assistant picks up the call
and says the doctor is not available she
will pass the message
then laura picks up a box kept under her
bed
it had cigarettes and booze
the next morning while leaving cody for
school one lady stares at laura in a
creepy way
laura had joined as a typewriter in an
office where a lady by the name of jane
compliments her dress
she was curious about it
later laura picks cody from his school
where she learns that he had made no
friends
kids were not interested in playing with
him
these two head back to the house were
after some time telephone rings
on the phone it was a male voice it was
laura's husband with whom she had some
issues
hence she cancels the call
just then laura's tv malfunctions even
after many repeated attempts it doesn't
turn on
here the sofa had a scratch mark it was
normal up until morning hence laura was
a little confused here
the phone rings again and this time it
was laura's mom
laura shouts at her for taking her
husband's side and revealing her number
to him
in his room cody was watching the pond
we see some spiral movement there
mysterious water also appears in his
room and some sort of entity emerges
from it
here the door of the room closes all by
itself and laura hears cody's screaming
voice again she runs to cody's room and
calms him down
she again tells him that he had the
nightmare again
in the background we clearly see the
entity leaving this room footprints were
there
later at night we see laura under a
blanket
since childhood this was her coping
mechanism to deal with stress
there her grandma used to calm her down
the next morning laura gets dr weaver's
call she used to take meds for some
illness
she was off those meds since she arrived
here
she wanted to take them again but the
doctor was not sure
he asked her to pay him a visit which
rattled laura a little
late night cody again saw something
coming at him from that lake
again an entity arrives in his room and
grabs him
he screams again
it seemed laura was not getting sleep
she was out for a light walk
she heard cody scream and ran back to
the house
for a strange reason the main door was
locked from the inside she breaks the
glass panel and opens the door
when she arrives at cody's room cody was
surprisingly calm
he says in a creepy way that he wants to
go home
laura in anger says this is our house we
will live here all these things spook
her a little
the next day she talks with the house
owner mr langtry
she tells him about his son's erratic
behavior regarding seeing monsters here
mr langtry dismisses it as a kid's
imagination
he says he might have seen a raccoon
mrs langtry asks laura to pay for the
glass panel
later laura took cody to a park and
tells him to play with other kids
cody hesitantly tries to play with one
kid but that kid runs away from him as
soon as he saw him
cody was upset with this he starts
throwing tantrums
he wanted to go home
after coming home cody starts to draw
he drew a picture where he and his mom
was with a black entity like figure
upon asking cody names this black figure
as a pretty lady
for cody the monster has become a pretty
lady and he was considering it his
friend
he wanted laura to work near that lake
but laura declines it
she ignores all this as a kid's
imagination
at night cody was again watching the
lake this time the pretty lady smiles at
him
laura was working and watching tv at the
same time
we see the entity behind her and this
time she feels it
she quickly turns back the entity was
there
this scares the hell out of her and
causes her to fall on a sofa
but here laura feels something else she
felt as if she is drowning in water
water was all around her and she somehow
swims to shore
in reality she wakes up on that sofa she
felt she drowned but all along she was
in the house
here cody was sitting on the stairs and
watching all this he asked her did you
see her
did you meet her
laura was scared hence she orders into
bed
the next day laura makes a few
invitation cards as tomorrow was cody's
birthday
he asks cody to distribute it among his
friends
cody was sure that nobody will come as
he had no friends
just then the lights at the house start
to flicker seeing which cody believes
the pretty lady will arrive soon
lori in panic mode sends cody to his
room and picks up a knife
but the pretty lady was already in
cody's room
she sees cody in the corridor
here for the first time we see that
entity's face
it had long hair and an ugly skull face
laura in panic stabs this entity which
in return pushes laura down the stairs
laura passes out here
when she gains consciousness she quickly
grabs cody and tries to run away from
here in their car
but the card doesn't start hence they
sleep in it
the next morning cody goes to school and
laura was busy preparing for the party
in the evening these two were waiting
for the kids but nobody comes
laura checks cody's bag pack where she
finds all the invitation cards
meaning he never gave it to his friends
she shouts at cody heavily
she starts to drink we see some drastic
changes in her behavior
she talks with everyone in anger
one day she sees her house differently
it was all old and rugged
seeing laura's erratic behavior mrs
langtry gives an ultimatum of 30 days to
vacate the house
laura was busy with her drinks when cody
was near the lake
he hears someone calling him and hence
enters the water
laura finally saw all this from her
window
she runs towards the pond and somehow
saves cody
the next day laura gets a call from her
husband
like before she was not interested in
talking with him hence she cancelled the
call and headed to the office
at the office her mind was not on work
she made a lot of mistakes in one file
laura's boss observes her condition and
hears her story
she tells all delusional monstrous story
of cody here to which her boss suggests
she consult a psychiatrist
laura was furious hearing this and in a
rude way she resigns from her job
later she heads to a bar where she meets
an old friend
this old guy knew laura he calms her
down and both danced a little
after this laura heads to school to pick
up cody but cody was missing
laura starts searching for him like a
mad possessed lady but he was missing
one police officer saw laura and asked
her what's happened
as she explained everything she thought
her ex-husband might have kidnapped him
the officer brought her to the police
station where we see a counselor
the counselor hears laura's version of
the story and says cody is not with his
ex-husband
she asks laura about last year's
incident in arizona
laura says one day last year i went out
grocery shopping my husband was supposed
to watch cody but he was busy in his
recreation
when i came back home i found cody in
the swimming pool passed out
i picked him out did cpr and called 911.
paramedics revived him
laura asks what that has to do with
cody's missing
just then a mobile phone starts
vibrating in her bag
the call was from her mom
the counselor who was looking old all
this time suddenly appeared young
laura was confused like hell
counselor asks laura to take it slow but
laura was freaked out
she runs from here where suddenly she
was in modern time
not in the 1950s
she saw her car which was bright and
shining up until now was clearly old and
rugged
she dries it anyway to her house which
was also old
all the items in it were old and rugged
as if nobody was living in it for a long
time
here laura saw cody sitting at the
dining table she was relieved
cody again does the tantrum of going
home she starts fighting with laura
he forcefully pushes her away by an
invisible force
then all of a sudden the house starts to
shake and all items fell
we see the entity dragging laura into
the water
here she gets the same vision of cody
drowning in the swimming pool
finally she understood what was
happening here
cody actually died in that accident but
she believed that he is alive
cody convinces her to let go this time
laura takes him to that lake where that
entity emerges in pretty lady form
laura says goodbye
the next morning she leaves the house
mr and mrs langtry were horrified in
seeing their house in such a mess they
found the pretty lady's photo
behind it this was written
grandma's car in 1959
laura was now seeing clearly as she head
back to her home in mesa arizona
so let me explain here what the heck is
happening
laura lost her son cody a year back
she was seeing him for quite some some
time
dr weaver had prescribed her meds
one day she runs from her husband
believing that he is taking away her son
from her
laura was very fond of her grandmother
she was nice to her
she was like a coping mechanism
hence when laura ditched the meds her
subconscious mind distorted reality
it made her believe that she is living
like her grandmom and that the era
surrounding her is the 1950s
that's why laura was seeing her rugged
car as brand new
she used to see the real reality
whenever she was drunk
drinks make your mind clear was
literally true here
when laura first arrived in california
mrs langtry was suspicious of her if she
was clearly seeing her rugged car
except for laura nobody saw cody
that's why he never had any friends
here there are two opinions about cody
and the entity
one is that it's all in laura's mind
she is hallucinating
the second one is cody was a ghost all
alone
he was stuck here as he died unnaturally
and somehow laura was seeing him
laura's kind late grandmom tried helping
her
cody was seeing her as a pretty lady
whereas laura was seeing her as a
monster
laura's mind was tricking her here
but when finally she understood what
happening around her and her condition
she clearly saw her grandmom as a young
pretty lady
this film is basically a mixture of
mental trauma and supernatural activity
overall it's a great horror film
