Synopsis & Review: An old house surrounded by untouched woodlands is the scene as successful screenwriter Phil Hastings uproots his family, relocating from California to a century-old farm outside a small town in rural New York. Despite some initial trepidations, the family settles in, eight year-old twins Sean and Patrick playing sandlot baseball, while teenage Gabbie romances neighboring grad student Jack. The idyll does not last long, however; The Bad Thing, which lurks under a bridge near the house, menaces the twins and a mysterious young man sexually assaults Gabbie. In the woods, people are lost and see creatures of unearthly beauty and terror, things only found in old tales and folklore. When the Hastings find a horde of gold on their property, all hell breaks loose as they unwittingly violate an ancient Compact between mankind and The Good People. click here to continue reading
