This genre mashup of political thriller and horror mystery has genuinely intriguing bones—the premise is sharp, timely, and weird enough to keep you guessing—but without any critical consensus to validate the execution, it's a risky pick for tonight. Watch it if you're in the mood for ambitious B-movie energy and don't mind potentially clunky tonal shifts; skip it if you want something you know will land.

Plot

After a governor issues an executive order to arrest the children of undocumented immigrants, the detained youth are offered an opportunity to have their charges dropped by volunteering to provide care to the elderly. Once inside the elder care facility, however, they discover more twisted secrets than they could have possibly imagined.
