Movie Maniac added 1 item to Terror Blurbs! Part II (An Ever-Expanding List) list
Plot: John is having quite the time dealing with his daughter's coming of age, especially in light of a recent divorce and move, but something far more sinister than growing changes is brewing beneath the surface.
This one is a well-acted and directed piece that fosters a decent amount of atmosphere and mystery while showing a lot of restraint with some of its horror roots. Some might argue it shows a bit too much restraint at times, as some of the mechanics of what is happening are a bit too vague. Ironically, this is countered by other revelations being left to clumsy exposition. Nevertheless, its foundations in the cultural prevalence of mounds and a neat riff on the changeling stories are intriguing. It will never be a cult classic and it certainly wasn't a hit at the box office but its also not a waste of time if you happen across it. That being said, maybe it's not something to actively seek out.
