the daisy chain (2008)

"Don't you think you'll go crazy here after the bright lights of London."
Heavily pregnant Martha (Samantha Morton) moves to rural Ireland when her husband (Steven Mackintosh) gets a job teaching at his old school. There she meets a feral child, Daisy (Mhairi Anderson), a girl whom the locals think is a changeling and shun. Taking pity on her, Martha takes her in, but soon finds that where Daisy is, strange and disturbing events are never far away.
A promising story, with a pervasive unease, but one that fails to build consistently to its shocking ending.
