Count on our plucky high school heroine (with the valuable assistance of three friends, including Shailene Woodley look-alike Graham) to decipher the clues and handily solve the mystery of the hidden staircase like a younger version of Jessica Fletcher, except no one gets murdered here. When Nancy’s widower father ( True Blood’s Trammell) mysteriously disappears on a business trip, the preternatural happenings at Twin Elms become more than everyday hocus pocus, part of a bigger conspiracy bubbling under the surface of the small town of River Heights. An eccentric octogenarian (Lavin) enlists an eager Nancy (the bright-eyed It girl Lillis) to investigate paranormal activity occurring in her possibly haunted home, where an infamous murder/suicide occurred over a century ago. Screenwriters Nina Fiore and John Herrera have modernized Keene’s decades-old storyline without completely chucking the quaint qualities of the original.
This new Nancy Drew has come a long way, baby. But in today’s (hopefully) less sexist and more enlightened age, she’s just another young woman exploring her identity without reference to any past tropes of femininity. Back then, the amateur snoop would be patronizingly labeled as a tomboy, or something even worse. Yesterday’s good-girl gumshoe has also morphed into a juvenile delinquent who dispenses vigilante justice (no spilled blood) to deserving wrongdoers, resulting in frequent groundings by her adult guardians and numerous scuffles with local law enforcement.
