Monstrous
Christina Ricci takes her young son to live in a new location, having apparently run away from an abusive / negligent husband. Each night a creature emerges from the lake by the house and goes after the young boy, who seems remarkably sanguine about the whole thing.
Whilst this is not really that frightening and there is no real gore, it is an intriguing mystery, ideally suited to Ricci's persona. Whilst there are some clues and bewildering scenes in the first hour as to what the creature is after, they tend to come thick and fast in the last half hour as the fog starts to clear. Certainly not great, but interesting, if light-weight and overall better than I was expecting.
