Trouble in the Tree-House
The girl “Clara” of this movie’s title climbs up to a tree-house and is, apparently, pushed to her death. One look at this dangerous tree-house and you’re going to wonder how any parent let it stand. Twenty years later, incredibly, the tree-house is still standing. The adults who lived on the property, and their neighbors, are not too smart when it comes to recognizing an obvious hazard. After this tragedy, we are introduced what looks like a female vigilante in the form of small but steely-armed Emmanuelle Vaugier (as Helen). She appears to rescue a different little girl from some unknown peril. The scene abruptly ends, and we presume it ended horribly because Ms. Vaugier turns out to be having a nightmarish flashback. Presently, she’s an ex-police detective looking to end a stressful life. That’s not going to be easy…Vaugier and her family move from Boston, Massachusetts to their beautiful new home in small-town Hallowell. Yes, it’s the house with the dangerous tree-house. And, no, they don’t plan to take it down. Vaugier’s husband is muscular architect Richard Ruccolo (as Mike Clayton). Fifteen-year-old Eva Link (as Emma) and nine-year-old Ella Ballentine (as Kate) are their children. The daughters perform adequately and strengthen the movie by looking and acting like real sisters. Although it seems like a manageable drive to Hallowell, the female residents exclaim the house, “looks so much bigger in real life!” Odd that an architect’s family would not have visited, before moving into the new home. Strange things happen almost immediately, and creepy neighbor Jonathan Potts (as Arnold “Arnie” Gray) arrives with a house-warming gift…
From noisy pipes to a nosy neighbor, events are very routine. This may be the intention. Writer-director Andrew C. Erin completes the TV movie thriller skillfully, but without much excitement. There are some puzzling choices, in addition to the dangerous tree-house (someone should have at least mentioned it should be removed). Like, have the older daughter sit in the car’s front seat with mom while the younger daughter talks to her “imaginary friend.” She’s their mother, not their chauffeur; the “imaginary friend” should be spookier. Much of the regular stuff is handled well enough, with Mr. Erin and the crew doing exceptionally well in scenes with ethnically-cast best friend Rachelle Casseus (as Anna). We don’t know why she turned up in the small town, but Ms. Casseus is perfect and her last scene may be the story’s highlight.

Something to watch if there’s nothing else on
Okay this started out potentially being good and maybe a bit spooky, but as the movie went on I found myself not paying attention and just surfing my computer at the sometime. It’s pretty slow that you could even take and exam while watching this movie. It sounded so good and I was looking forward to watching this, but what a let down it was. The acting over all is an okay movie for lifetime, but usually they have much better and decent story lines than this. It’s was too long to begin with and just felt like it was just dragging and dragging and dragging. This is one of those movies I won’t re-watch that’s for sure and I honestly would rather have watched anything else. The whole show seemed scattered and all over the place, with so many incomplete aspects of it. It’s like a ball bouncing all over with too much going on. Though it’s pretty to the point and it’s obvious from the start, so what kept me watching was the hopes it would get better. Not the case.
