Domestic Disturbance

• Thriller
• Crime
• Mystery

A simmering domestic thriller unfolds not through elaborate twists, but through a father’s desperate, increasingly obsessive belief in his son’s accusations against a seemingly affable stepfather. Frank Morrison, a boat builder grappling with the aftermath of divorce, finds himself consumed by a chilling uncertainty as his son, a boy prone to fabrication, claims to have witnessed a murder. The film distinguishes itself by focusing on the erosion of trust – within a fractured family and within the viewer’s own perception of Rick Barnes – fueled by a growing sense of isolation and the chilling possibility that a protective father is descending into paranoia. It’s a study of how readily anxieties about blended families and lost parental control can morph into a terrifying conviction, presenting a portrait of suburban dread built on reasonable doubt and fractured relationships.
