"There's a ghost in my house. I saw her in the water, beside me, in the bathtub." – Claire Spencer

Why watch this? The triumvirate of Zemeckis, Pheiffer and Ford brilliantly execute this eerie supernatural mystery.

Plot Summary: Claire Spencer, a former cellist who finds her idyllic Vermont lake house life disrupted by unsettling experiences after her daughter leaves for college. Claire begins to suspect that her home is haunted, or possibly that she is losing her mind, as she experiences strange occurrences and sees glimpses of a mysterious woman.

Dad's Preview: This film is very creepy. The protagonist, Claire, begins to experience strange things: odd neighbors, a full bathtub, writing on the foggy mirror. She's convinced there is a presence trying to contact her. She also feels her husband is not being completely truthful. This is a very intense, scary flick that will have you chomping on your finger nails all the way to its shocking end.
