令人不安看情绪操纵和相互依存关系的后果，复活混合魔术现实主义和恐怖，使其令人不安。这部电影明星圣丹斯电影节明矾丽贝卡·霍尔（Rebecca Hall）扮演着一位情绪困扰的母亲，弯腰保护孩子免受伤害。

玛格丽特（霍尔）在她的生活中重新出现后，玛格丽特（霍尔）发现自己受到了极限的极限，以测试她的“友善”，并成为她18-18-的好母亲的能力，在她的一生中重新出现了前爱好者（由节日校友蒂姆·罗斯（Tim Roth）饰演）之后大女儿阿比（Abbie）。孕产是玛格丽特个人身份的关键方面，她在兼顾单身父母和建立成功的职业时精心培养。

玛格丽特拼命地试图保护阿比摆脱过去的恐怖，但她的痴迷孕产妇的本能迅速变得“令人窒息”；她无意中把女儿推开，让玛格丽特独自面对折磨者。霍尔的磁性铅表现（包括强烈的七分钟独白）为这部超现实的心理惊悚片带来了困扰。

作家导演安德鲁·西曼斯（Andrew Seamans）的剧本使“黑名单”成为了高度评价未制作的剧本的“黑名单”。在《事后的问答》中，制片人德鲁·霍普（Drew Houpt），托里·莱诺斯基（Tory Lenosky）和亚历克斯·沙夫曼（Alex Scharfman）与他一起讨论了电影的轨迹。“With Rebecca’s character, she’s ferocious — she’s always trying to find a way to assert control, find a way to master the circumstance, figure out a way to not be in a position of victimization, a way to solve her strange, threatening, terrifying circumstance,” Seamans says. “Rebecca is such a primal force that she would bring that sense of desperation and passion and aggression to every scene.”

When speaking to his film’s bizarre, tidy, and intentionally-ambiguous ending, Seamans says, “Because the ending is impossible — it is quite possibly a fantasy, we don’t know — it’s a very unstable ending and not entirely trustworthy, and I think that suggests that the truth of the matter, of what might have happened to this character, is more tragic than we’re seeing on screen.”
