john stimpson and the legend of lucy keyes ( 2006 ) and be a below average script go wrong . a i sit in the theater and two thing keep cross my mind represent be this really the same julie deply i know from blue ( 1993 ) while follow by represent have it be 93 minute yet . legend be about a middle class family of city dweller that have just move to a new england country side home in support of a windmill project be construct by husband and father and guy cooley ( justin theroux ) . strange vibe exist from day one when not so friendly neighbor or pig farmer jonas dodd ( mark boone junior ) refuse to say hello to guy and create an uneasy tension . and later result in many weird unexplained scene and include a bloody pigs head on a stick during a casual walk through the wood . meanwhile and wife jeanne cooley ( julie delpy ) be constantly wake up in the middle of the night and hearing voice disguise a wind come from the wood . intertwine with her night terror be flashback of her young daughter and who be now deceased and be strike by a car ( we learn this information through drop ice cream cone and screech tire ) . the only point to establish a dead daughter a a character be to reinforce the mother need to keep her survive child alive and a if we sympathize with the mom represent jeanne have already lose one daughter and it would be a shame for her to lose another . no kidding . it get bad . through a town meeting fill with some of the most awkward dialog ever film and the superstitious ramblings of gretchen caswell ( jamie donnelly ) who be describe a a funny look lady with white hair and inform u that martha land and where the windmill be be build and be haunt by a 250 year old ghost martha ( rachel harker ) and who be still involve in a never end search for her abducted or murder daughter lucy keyes . parallel between jeanne cooley and the martha ghost begin to unfold ( . basically their daughter have the same name . ) which be show in a flashback and yes another one and use the combined knowledge of the we know youre in danger but why would we inform you townspeople . the flashback depict a 250 year old scene of alive martha ring a dinner bell to attract lucy attention and follow by jeanne repeat the scene in present time . ( note the exquisite dialogue represent i get you a gift . you have always want a dinner bell ) the inevitable disappearance of lucy be delay for what seem like hour . finally and the martha ghost ( this be a ghost story and right . ) appear and fly through a little crack in lucy window and but instead of grab lucy a any childless mother ghost would and just stand still and allow the scary music to play . eventually and lucy go miss and a search party be form and just like it be 250 year ago and the cycle repeat itself ( although no murder of native american take place this time ) . the difference be and almost by some sort of psychic premonition ( which would have make more sense than the way the scene actually play out ) and jeanne and guy find their daughter and finally the madness be over . if my review seem all over the place and that simply mean i succeed in convey the story . but maybe i be be too harsh . there be a couple redeem quality of the film and and i must give credit where it be due . first off and i walk out of the theater much more appreciative of what a good movie actually look like and and maybe the best part of all represent it happen to be a free screening .
