Steven Soderbergh directs Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan and Callina Liang in this supernatural thriller where a ghost observes a family at risk who move into a new house.

The awesome David Koepp wrote this (his second collaboration this year with Soderbergh) and it has strong Panic Room vibes. It is a one-watcher and the characters are often very unlikable but it works. Becomes very intense before the twist and feels like it is saying more about human toxicity than many a drama that explicitly sets out to do such a thing. Soderbergh also cheekily winks at us the viewer, our POV and our ability to do nothing but watch as a tragedy unfurls. Sounds pretty good, hey!? But, like I say, a classy five finger exercise that would appear to be rewarding only the once.
