EMA HORVATH MOVIE

Liberty is presented as a quiet, socially-awkward teenager with a nerdy passion for archaeology. There's plenty of illicit romance and sexual fantasizing to go around, starting with the most obvious chemistry between Michelle and John, which then matures into a forbidden love triangle with sinister John at the center. If you classify 'What Lies Below' as purely an erotic thriller and disregard the sci-fi elements that randomly appear in the story, it might just pass the test. Liberty's frustration quickly evolves into awe after she witnesses his abs glistening in the sun as he dramatically emerges from his casual dip in the lake - in a speedo. They head to the family lake house in the Adirondacks where, much to Liberty's dismay, Michelle's allegedly perfect boyfriend John (Trey Tucker) awaits their arrival. It all begins when a cheerful Michelle (Suvari) picks up teenage daughter Liberty (Horvath) - err, 'babygirl' - from archaeology camp. While 'American Beauty' breakout star Mena Suvari and newcomer Ema Horvath deliver convincing performances as the mother and daughter duo in the film's opening sequence, it's not enough to sustain the utter strangeness that ensues.
