  • Danika Merrick—a young mother of three—has a caring husband, a beautiful house, and a safe, simple life. She does her best to shield her family from a world filled with fears. But despite all of her good intentions, Danika's worries over everyday dangers begin to manifest themselves into strange delusions of horrific proportions. With the belief that she is going insane, Danika seeks psychiatric help. …But what happens when her gruesome hallucinations start becoming a reality? Danika is a psychological suspense thriller, filled with mind bending twists and turns, which proves the more we try to control our fears, the more our fears control us.

    The message is unexplored and eventually buried under an avalanche of cheap shock tactics and pointlessly dizzying visuals.

    a jumpy little psychological thriller that plays like a nonstop anxiety-attack.

    Upsetting that it had to go for the easy genre closer instead of exploring the universal parental mentality that Danika had going for it until the final half-hour.

    This film has enough sporadic scares and psychological tension throughout to entertain a Friday night crowd but a more sophisticate audience may not give it the chance.

    It just doesn't really have much to say, and the ending makes what little one does invest in it utterly irrelevant.

    Imagine the little kid from The Sixth Sense as a frazzled stay-at-home mom played by Marisa Tomei.
