The movie premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 20, 2018, and was purchased by Netflix one week later for eventual worldwide release through the platform on May 24, 2019.Charlotte Willmore (Allison Williams) was a prodigy on the cello in her teenage years, on the course for a promising career that she suddenly quit to take care of her terminally ill mother after she suffered a stroke. After her mother dies years later, she reintegrates with her former music academy's activity by reaching out to academy head Anton and traveling to Shanghai to help select a new student.There, she meets Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wells (Logan Browning), the new star pupil of the academy — and essentially her replacement. They hit it off immediately, and Lizzie invites Charlotte on vacation for her first break in a long time. However, this trip only proves to be the beginning of both musicians traveling down an increasingly sinister path with shocking consequences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Since this film is built on major plot twists, watch out for spoilers.

 Amputation Stops Spread: Lizzie is made to believe this after seeing imaginary bugs crawling out from her hand, with Charlotte inexplicably producing a meat cleaver and telling her that she "[knows] what [she] has to do".

 And I Must Scream: Rather than kill Anton, Charlotte and Lizzie reduce him to a limbless torso with his eyes and mouth sewn shut and make him listen to a final duet performed by both of them.
