could be horror
Cassidy (Natasha Henstridge) is released from a mental institution. She goes to stay with her younger patrol policewoman sister Jane (Kelly Rutherford) who has a family of her own. Jane's daughter Emily (Peyton List) is struggling with nightmares of drowning and has a water phobia.
The reveal holds no surprises. In fact, the pieces fall into the exact places that one expects. For anybody with elemental math skills, one should be able to figure out Emily's origins. Quite frankly, this story is made to be a psychological horror from Emily's point of view. Instead, it's a Lifetime movie and it is all Lifetime. As such, there isn't much tension and has no momentum. Even the final twist is fully expected. I would have been disappointed if the script doesn't take it to its logical ending. At least, it arrives at its end point without big screw ups.
