Nowhere
Nowhere has the hallmarks of an effective horror tale, creepy children, dark forests, small town, and folklore. The characters lean more caricature than archetype, and some of the phonetic dialogue is slow to get through (and too stereotypical to feel authentic). Still, Nowhere was hard to put down and achieved a satisfying conclusion, which is all I can ask for from a thriller.
