What did you think of this film?

A lone, spectral woman shrouded entirely in black appears on a family’s front lawn without explanation and warns them “today’s the day.”

Where did she come from? What does she want? When will she leave? Only The Woman in the Yard knows.

Ramona, a woman crippled by grief after she survives a car accident that takes her husband (Russell Hornsby) must care for their 14-year-old son (Peyton Jackson) and 6-year-old-daughter (Estella Kahiha), alone in her rural farmhouse.

Then one day the woman takes form in their yard.

Ramona assumes the woman (Okwui Okpokwasili) is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful. Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won’t leave them alone.
