A man (David Morse) returns to his childhood home where he reflects back on one summer when he was 11. A stranger (Anthony Hopkins) rents a room in the house and he has adventures with his two friends but gets little support from his self seeking mother (Hope Davis). This is a well produced film that evokes the feel of the 1960's and although it has a psychic element the best parts of the film are the relationships between Anton Yelchin, his girlfriend (Mika Boorem), his mother (Hoper Davis) and Anthony Hopkins. This performance from Anthony Hopkins is impressive and understated, but the young Anton Yelchin gives the performance of the film. The film is based on the novel by Stephen King.
