The screenplay made other changes to the story.
The cast is uniformly excellent, with the child actors perfectly mirroring their adult counterparts: as Steven, as Shirley, as Theo, Victoria Pedretti as Nell and as Luke.
A man is beaten up while roaming the city streets alone.
But as though foreordained, her refuge turns out to be a house that is, as she experiences it, virtually a maw.
In turn, the secrets of four families — as well as the town itself — are exposed as the search for the missing kids endures.
