The Headmistress movie storyline. Mara (Katherine Bellantone) is a teacher. She’s also deep in debt which is why she’s selling the lakefront property she just inherited. Rather than using an agent, she’s taking a group of potential buyers to look at the property, which she’s never been to, herself. The first sign of trouble comes when they find a bridge closed and have to proceed on foot.
Eventually, Mara, cute couple Pete (Tom Dacey Carr) and Dex (Hunter O’Harrow), Ani (Ayden Skye), Donovan (Thomas McCarthy), and Nikki (DeChantel Kosmatka) arrive at the property. As they approach it, Mara notices a figure in the window. That, plus the fact it was left to her by the father she never knew should be reason enough to wait outside. But that wouldn’t make for much of a movie, would it?
Writer Christopher A. Micklos and co-director Jay Sapiro, the team that gave us The Nursery, had me asking questions within The Headmistress’ first few minutes. Why isn’t Mara letting a professional handle the sale, especially as she’s broke and had to fly to the location? And she says she doesn’t know much about the property because she never knew her father. Why wouldn’t she research it to help her make the sale? Several of the group seem to know more about it than she does, including the fact that it’s haunted.
