My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Horror Thriller
“What must her life be like, I often wonder, living as a human.”
Sara Douroux lives on the island of Maui with her elderly adoptive parents. She doesn’t remember anything of her childhood or of coming to live in Hawaii. She can remember a year ago she got very sick, so sick she almost died. Her parents are set in the old ways, no doctors, no telephone, and very private, Sara is not allowed to have friends. A letter comes in the mail one day to her parents and they tell Sara that four cousins will be coming to stay with them for a month.
Not long after, four pale white young children arrive. They are so sick that they can barely walk or talk but Sara is told that under no circumstances is she to feed them. As soon as the children arrive, strange occurrences start to happen. The children seem to be growing daily, even through they never eat. Locals begin to see a pale white woman watching them at night. Sara knows that things are not right but her parents refuse to tell her the truth about their visitors or her. As a group of local kids start to investigate, they reveal a terrible danger and Sara may be the key to saving the whole valley.
