Lady in the Water
It’s a fairy tale meets horror show in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest suspense thriller. A mysterious young lady (Bryce Dallas Howard) crawls out of an apartment complex swimming pool and seeks protection by the superintendent (Paul Giamatti) from a wolf like beast preventing her return to her world. A colorful cast of characters must come together in this close community to combat this creepy creature. The suspense intensifies as the search to identify the guardian, the symbolist, the healer, and the guild becomes more desperate. M. Night shows his keen sense of humor as he pokes fun at this genre and movie critics. He even prominently casts himself as a writer in this film. If this is based on the bedtime stories M. Night used to tell his own children, then it is a wonder that they ever got a good night’s sleep. If your tastes run a little bit on the odd side, you may enjoy this dark mystery/fantasy movie.
Alien gives it 3 “narf, scrunt, tartutic” stars out of 4.
