“This story is about a young woman with schizophrenia, and every character is trying to relate to it,” Bondurant told Patch. “And what’s beautiful about the film is the director and writer, Castille Landon, who is a Bradenton native, shows the audience how to have empathy for her.”

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally, according to the Mayo Clinic. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking.

The main character in the movie, Rain Burroughs, struggles with terrifying hallucinations as she begins to suspect her neighbor, who is played by Bondurant, has kidnapped a child. The only person who believes her is Caleb — a boy she isn’t even sure exists.

In FEAR OF RAIN, teen Rain Burroughs (Madison Iseman) is living with schizophrenia, suffering from visual and auditory hallucinations. One — a masked figure capturing her and burying her alive — occurs because Rain stopped taking her meds. She wakes after it in a hospital bed, with her worried parents (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick Jr.) nearby. Rain agrees to go back on her medication and start over, but things immediately take a turn when she starts to suspect that her teacher and next door neighbor, Ms. McConnell (Eugenie Bondurant), is holding a young girl hostage. The only person who believes Rain is a new kid at school, Caleb (Israel Broussard), and together they decide to investigate. Unfortunately, she has no way of knowing whether any of this is real.
