Facing his mother's worsening leukemia, a boy turns his curious mind from detective stories to supernatural lore in David Oyelowo's, a family adventure set against a lush Pacific Northwest backdrop. Doing double-duty behind and in front of the camera Oyelowo is sure-footed in his feature directing debut, delivering a smart and wholesome picture with about as little sentimentality as such a tale can have.
He stumbles onto a local legend about a ghost who haunts a nearby forest. As the local mortician explains, the Water Man was a miner whose home was destroyed in a flood while he slept. But a mysterious piece of ore brought him back to life, and he has spent decades looking for his wife's body so he can resurrect her as well.
Emma Needell's debut script balances the worry Gunner leaves in his absence — where Amos, already guilty about snapping at his son, tries to find him while keeping Mary from learning he's missing — with the kids' just-scary-enough adventures. Swarms of crawling insects, rushing rapids and hunger all threaten them while a bigger threat lurks unseen.
