Instead, it raises more questions--but I will do my best to answer them. All in all, the film is an eerie, horror movie about the nightmares of the “normal” life. It follows the story of a suburban housewife named Carol White (Julianne Moore) who develops an illness her doctor cannot diagnose and her husband (Xander Berkeley) cannot understand
