Looking at the thumbnail and description on Tubi, I didn't expect this to be a gore fest. I think the fact that this movie isn't that is why so many reviewers gave it low scores. Unfamiliar with most of the actors, although I believe they all turned in good performances. A Scottish manor home was the primary setting, so there's atmosphere to burn. At first, I thought this movie was treading territory similar to George C. Scott's THE CHANGELING--both movies have protagonists who are single, have traumatic pasts, and are trying to turn a page in their lives by acquiring large, long-empty houses, but the similarities stop there. While Scott's character tries to get justice for a child ghost, the main character in this movie slowly finds that the child ghost haunting him (the source of the invisible "small hand" of the title) has an entirely different motivation. The characters in this movie are all adults, having adult motivations and adult reactions, something refreshing in an era when screenwriters seem to have forgotten how to write adult characters who think and talk believably like grownups. The movie takes it's time to get to the Big Reveal, one that I wasn't completely prepared for. Woody Norman gives a performance as the child ghost that is both adorable and sinister. Not perfect, but a satisfying way to pass 90 minutes.
