The Boathouse (2021)
When Anne (Michaela Kurimsky) is hired by her missing music professor's husband (Alan Van Sprang) as a live-in nanny, she becomes entangled in the family's secrets and begins to mentally unravel. Ostensibly stranded at a remote lakeside cottage, she's driven to consider the circumstances behind her mentor's disappearance. Employing a nonlinear narrative, Hannah Cheesman's old-school psychological thriller keeps Anne teetering on the brink of an implosion as she hurtles towards a reckoning with the past.

      The last 5 minutes of the movie, the lead character Anne Wilson has a bleeding cut of her left eyebrow at the boathouse. The next scene when she is standing on the pier next to the boy, her cut moves to her right eyebrow. The next scene when the police are interviewing her, the cut is back on the left side again.

    Hollow and empty

    This is not a horror movie! Its not a thriller, its not scary, and its not creepy... It is barely a drama!

    Its a dragging story with hollow acting. No dephts.

    It is well produced, but the way the story is told it feels flat and hollow... The main character is not a good actress.
