I really do love psychological thrillers, probably why Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. This film explores a woman’s childhood memories, some of which have been blocked out due to trauma. However one memory does remain, a children’s tune, Lavender Blue. She returns to her childhood home with her new family and the memories start returning.

I’m not at all certain why this movie wasn’t more popular as it is really good. It kept me guessing for quite some time, that is until the daughter starts hearing the tune as well.
