The title was "Pleasant movie" but it wasn't a pleasant story. The film starts off with a little girl witnessing a murder, and then she's caught and we hear her scream as the film fades. Next is a scene of Liza in a car driving to a small town, but the locals are unfriendly and cold. It was a shock to find out that she used to live there and knew them so why have they turned hostile? Hmm. She stays with her very odd step mother and creepy step brother, Justin who she meets for the first time. She befriends a little girl that tells her about the death of her cousin, who was the other girl from the very beginning scene. For some reason everyone doesn't like to talk about it. The howling in the woods comes from a stray dog. Liza wants to help the poor dog, and discovers something sinister in the woods. A really good film, tense in places, dated and very homely, with some atmospheric thunderstorms and plenty of paranoia going on. What is exactly going on? Its worth finding out.
