Lady in the Water

Bryce Dallas Howard stars with Paul Giamatti in M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water, which was released back in 2006.

Howard, the daughter of film director Ron Howard, is found in the swimming pool of an apartment complex by Giamatti, who plays the complex's maintenance guy.

Howard's character turns out to be from another dimension--which she's trying to get back to--and she's being hunted by a wolf-like creature called a Scrunt, who skulks around the apartment complex.

Howard's character also goes barefoot for the entirety of this film.. She's from a water-based race of people.

Howard previously acted for Shyamalan on The Village. She directed one of the episodes of The Mandalorian on Disney +.

My favorite Shyamalan films are his trilogy of underrated "superhero" films: Unbreakable/Split/Glass. But I also can't help but admire any movie that has its lead actress going barefoot throughout its running time.
