(3) YA Carl can't remember anything about the accident that drowned his brother Rob (and nearly drowned Rob's girlfriend Neisha and Carl himself). Amnesiac Carl's attraction to Neisha brings back his brother's jealousy and murderous rage, and any contact with water raises Rob's vengeful ghost. Heavy rains and a growing dampness increase this gritty working-class-British thriller's atmospheric menace, while Rob makes a chillingly psychopathic spirit.
