A children’s book author (Gabrielle Anwar) writes books about a little girl menaced by spooky stuff in a swamp. After the writer has a bit of a breakdown, she moves to the country to get away from it all. However, she ends up in a house that just happens to be next to a swamp and also just happens to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl. With the help of a psychic (Forest Whitaker) she unravels her personal connection to the place. The theme of the day is the sexual abuse of children, which gives the whole thing an unpleasant taste. However, it’s professionally put together, well acted, and genuinely scary in parts. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
