Diane Sherman (Sarah Paulson) is an overly protective mother to homeschooled wheelchair-bound teenager Chloe (Kiera Allen). Chloe grows suspicious of the pill her mother gives her.
This is a nice little simple psychological horror. The script has a few minor flaws but I can deal with that. The pharmacist is way too stupid. It could have been fixed if she calls social services. That could have led to a tense scene when a social worker comes knocking at the door. Another scene is breaking the window. It's very unlikely to work and she could have just hit it with something like a hammer. When Chloe conveniently discovers everything, it would be more intense if she tries to placate her mother. Newcomer Kiera Allen is actually a pretty good actress and I would like her to try changing gears in her characterization. All in all, this is nice but it could be even better. It needs a bit more mystery. It could be smarter but it's still pretty good.
