Recap

In Ketchum, Oklahoma, Susan Fletcher is a patient at the Glenwood Springs Psychiatric Hospital. The head doctor, Fuller, is talking to her about the death of her son in a home fire. When he asks if she’s getting sleep, Susan insists that she can’t go to sleep, because that’s when the monster that killed her hospital roommate Annie comes. When Fuller wonders if she’s hallucinating, Susan admits that she can see her dead son, but she knows he’s not real. The monster, on the other hand, she knows is real. Fuller insists that Annie’s death was a suicide and that Susan has created the monster to protect herself from her own guilt...
