Lady In The Water

Shyamalan's follow-up from the laughable 'The Village'.

Fairytale style story begins with an animated sequence introducing the film's "ancient myths", then follows Cleveland Heep (great name, played by the brilliant Giamatti), superintendent of The Cove apartment complex. The lady in question, Story (Howard), is a "Narf" - a sea nymph from "The Blue World" who has taken up residence in the swimming pool of the Cove apartments. Cleveland discovers Story and takes it upon himself to help the nymph fulfill her mission and return home, a task that requires the aid of various tenants. Throughout, Story is in danger of attack by another "Blue World" visitor, the "Scrunt", a werewolf-like creature thing.
