5. Dorothy Mills
Who's in It? Carice van Houten and Jenn Murray
The Verdict: What happens in a tiny village on a remote island stays in the village. Valkyrie’s van Houten would have known this had she rented The Wicker Man. Then she might have thought twice about traveling to an Irish island community to conduct a psychological assessment of a girl (Murray) accused of choking a baby. Receiving resistance from skeptical locals obviously turns out to be the least of van Houten’s problems. Does Dorothy have multiple personality disorder? Or is she possessed? Regardless, with her peculiar look and unsettling demeanor, Murray does a superb job of giving you the creeps as Dorothy. Director Agnès Merlet, though, doesn’t offer many genuine scares, but her twist ending should please fans of The Sixth Sense.
