Plot
Newlyweds Bea and Paul spend their honeymoon at Bea's family's cabin in a secluded Canadian forest. In a small restaurant, they meet the owner Will, Bea's childhood friend. Will's wife Annie interrupts their conversation, saying they need to get away. That night, Paul wakes up to find Bea missing. He finds her naked and disoriented in the woods and takes her back to the cabin. Bea claims she was sleepwalking due to stress, which unsettles Paul as Bea doesn't have a history of sleepwalking.
Over subsequent days, Bea seemingly forgets how to do several basic tasks, but insists she is fine.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2014 film directed by Leigh Janiak” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17091852. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history.
