Sullen teen Marie (Jessica Barden, very good) babysits for her neighbour (Tony Curran). When her ward mysteriously dies, a supernatural presence draws her to the dark woods nearby. Compelling turns and creepy scares, but a plot that crawls to a halt rather than reaching a climax.

In The Dark Half
Well played and creepy, if a little plodding in plot and pacing, it promises better things ahead from director Alastair Siddons.
