Plot
The movie centers on an Australian woman living in Boston with the heir (Somerhalder) to an incredible fortune whose family history is swirled in a legend that tells of a pact made with a demon which ensures that whenever a boy is born into the family, the father is killed.
The heir suspects his girlfriend is pregnant, and after strange events occur, he comes to believe he will die if he continues to fall in love.

Production
Michel Shane and David Redman will produce. Anthony Romano, Shana Levine and Dean Murphy will executive produce. Shane said:
"We see this is as almost like an American-style 'Pan's Labyrinth' in look and feel,".
"It's a perfect segue for the kids who have outgrown 'Twilight' but want something romantic and scary. Our monster will be quite terrifying; she is sexually attractive and monstrous at the same time." [3]
The film took advantage of Down Under's 42% film-tax incentive, shooting Melbourne for Boston.[4]
"Cradlewood" was due to start production in April of 2010,[5] during Somerhalder's hiatus from "The Vampire Diaries".[6]
