Lawn Dogs (2007 John Duigan)

Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton have great chemistry (she seems way better than her later performance in Orange County - much more natural). Duigan made Sirens. In Naomi Wallace's screenplay, we don't really know what will happen. I think the description of the ending would be 'magical realism'. Her parents are Christoper McDonald (although there's nothing overtly bad about him he seems quite sinister) and unfaithful mother Kathleen Quinlan, Miles Meehan is the kid, Bruce McGill the cop, David Barry Gray and Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty) the preppy bastards.



Is there something of Little Red Riding Hood to it too?

Baba Yaga is a witch of Slavic origin.

The film's shot by Elliot Davis and the music's by Trevor Jones. Humphrey DIxon edited (also Sirens. A Room With a View).
