Getting back to my wits

After two days of feeling slightly under-the-weather I am getting back to normal, but not before having a few extra nights of insomnia. Last night was made exceptionally bad when I caught a movie on LMN, "The Legend of Lucy Keyes" and couldn't walk away from it, even at 3 in the morning.

This is the second time, by chance, that I've caught a "legend"-based movie that proves to be very well written and starred. (The former being The Mothman Prophecies)

A young couple with their two daughters move to Princeton, Mass. The family, having come from a devastating, personal loss, are anxious to move and start over after the husband is hired to design/build windmills to generate clean energy for this small town, which he quickly finds is divided upon the construction due to a sad legend.

The sad legend concerns a family who lived at the same house the young couple of the present reside. In the 1700s the family lost a daughter, by what means thus comes the mystery, leaving behind a mother driven mad with the pain of having lost a child. Eventually, the mother ends up transpiring in those exact woods where her youngest was lost and thus a legend is born as the grieving mother haunts the landscape, forever in search of "Lucy".

Very well written and eery; made even better that it is based on a real legend. I think the only thing I find disgruntling about the movie was the "ghost" attack. I find that rather needless... things are much eerier in a flick when the "ghosties" are left to the imagination. Otherwise solid two thumbs up in moi's book, and that's a plus considering I am not an avid fan of LMN. Though over the summer it appears to have done a bit of expansion and growing. Another story, another day...
