Movie debuts December 16 on Prime Video
The winner of the top prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival—a rare honor for a horror film—the feature debut from writer-director Nikyatu Jusu draws on West African folklore to tell the story of a Senegalese immigrant (Anna Diop) who leaves her own son behind (temporarily, she hopes) to find work in America, where she secures a job as a nanny for the young daughter of wealthy white Manhattanites. But her already difficult life becomes more so as a series of haunting dreams plagued by an ominous supernatural presence begin to blur into reality.
