Originally called Little Bone Lodge, this was directed by Matthias Hoene (Cockneys vs. Zombies) and written by Neil Linpow, who plays Jack in the movie.
Mama (Joely Richardson, daughter of director Tony Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave, granddaughter of Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, niece of Lynn Redgrave and sister of Natasha Richardson; she certainly has some star power for a Tubi original) is been caring for the paralyzed Pa (Roger Ajogbe) with the help of Maisy (Sadie Sovernal, Saltburn) in a home far off the beaten path.
One night, a rainy night of course, a knock on the door brings Matty (Harry Cadby) and his injured brother Jack (Linpow) into their hidden world. Jack has a pipe impaled into his body and is near death and Mama wants to throw them back into the darkness. Maisy begs for them to stay and Mama has the medical abilities to save him. But what's the story with the cash and dead person in their car? And what secrets does this family have?
Jack and Matty have some secrets of their own. There's McCallister (Cameron Jack) after them for some reason. And that worries Jack so much that he's pulled a gun on Mama. Bad idea.
This ends up being way creepier and also so much better than I expected when I saw the name on Tubi. Stick with it, as this has some really good acting and plenty of tense moments. All is never as it seems. I mean, why does Pa need so much medication?
