Plagued by nightmares and obsessive sleepwalking, Darcy Baker can't purge her mind of the animalistic abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her mother. When Darcy's therapist Ryan is informed that her family homestead, the very source of her nightmares, has been abandoned, he is eager to get her back there and pull the suppressed memories to the surface in order to start her journey of healing. While Darcy has no interest in walking through the door to that hell, she does have a deep desire to win the love of Ryan and succumbs to his wishes to return to her childhood home. Upon arriving at the decrepit house, she and Ryan discover that the fear mother ignites in Darcy still lives. Even more unsettling, they uncover the existence of ten-year-old Sam, a feral mute, who keeps his secrets dangerously close to his heart. Ryan admirably risks it all to heal both Sam and Darcy, but is their blood bond thicker than the healing waters he has to offer?

Dr. Ryan Andrews (Denton Blane Everett) goes rogue when he removes a mental patient, Darcy (Tiffany Heath) from her safe environment and takes her back to her home where she was abused by mother. Darcy sleep walks and has a number of issues with hurting herself. Ryan uses hypnosis and regression therapy in addition to this shock immersion against the wished of his colleagues who we only know through low budget phone conversations.While at the disheveled home, they discover Sam, a mute feral boy who knows more than he lets on, but also drops clues. About midway through the film we get the twist in the making and the film improves from its slow piano soundtrack. Unfortunately the first half of the film was flat and unexciting. Denton Blane Everett was horrible and lifeless in this role. I didn't understand how the abandoned house still had electricity as well as all the horse metaphors which was vital to enjoying this feature.The film includes scenes of self mutilation and implies torture. I found the film improving as it went on, but the three man play failed to generate decent horror.Guide: F-bomb. Nudity

CUT HER OUT is a cheap shot-on-video film that acts as an open copy of the Hollywood horror flick MAMA. It features a young woman disturbed by her traumatic childhood who decides to return to her childhood home with her psychiatrist, who also just so happens to be her lover. The pair soon discover that the house is currently occupied by a seemingly feral child with secrets of his own.Nothing about this film is very good, the cheapness evident in the single location setting and the general lack of emphasis on the elements that matter. The movie suffers from poor sound quality and mumbling on the part of the actors (particularly the guy) that makes it difficult to hear what's going on. It's not very interesting, overall.
