The mystery of that girl is what made her supernatural. Samantha lives in a small family, like a normal girl. Samantha always works to expose this supernatural man to her family, trying to keep the life of her foster mother in vain.
McLeod's performance is as much a highlight as the spooky spirit Lutter conjures, enhanced by Nelson and Graham Talbot's striking cinematography and David Parfit's sinister score.
Whilst it may not be destined to set the box-office alight - and will probably find its place on streaming and cable channels, The Hollow Child is a passably diverting supernatural thriller and a film with talent to watch out for in the future.
