Boy in the Attic (2016 TV Movie)
4/10
scruffy guy mystery
11 February 2018
Rachel Davis (Gina Holden) returns home to Chehalis, Washington for her mother's funeral with her daughter Callie (Abbie Cobb). Michael Collins is wanted for Ed Brinson's murder. As Callie helps her mother clean out the house, she suspects the home is haunted. It's actually a boy whom she likes living in the attic before her arrival.

This doesn't really work as a mystery. It's overload with extraneous backstory. It could have been simplified into a more compelling thriller. The basic idea has potential. There is some bad dialogue and general problematic story writing. I question many actions in the movie and it moves too slowly in the first half. Generally, there are too many things wrong for me to overlook.
