Mum's Monday: The Site of Murder - An Emma Fielding Mystery

Site Unseen

I love the images conjured up from just a spoon, showing the depth of archaeology. What I don’t like is the mysterious person watching over the sire.

This film quickly becomes expected and unexpected at the same time. I was expecting some early bones of a murder victim but that is not what is found. The script is a little flimsy in places. Emma (Courtney Thorne-Smith) is speaking far too freely. I can see both sides that one, Emma has nothing to hide but, two, the police may take what she says as inadvertently incriminating herself. Luckily people know Emma too well in more ways than one it seems.

I am now glad the ‘Puns’ seemed to have stopped, I don’t mind the odd amusing pun but I wouldn’t want a whole script of them.

What I don’t like is that the site has been compromised. It is good that the site can be salvaged. Luckily the ‘Find’ is still ok.

I like the mention/reference to a police investigation is like archeology. Now the scene swaps to the dig site and the ‘Find’ is gone. The script is awful about this part. Sadly, so is the acting it is almost cringy. 

A storm is brewing in more ways than one. There is a lot going on, including, it does look like, jealousy, integrity and a fire. I want to say the dig site is cursed but really it is just, at the moment, looks like it is about a ‘Chest of gold coins’ however, the ‘Colony’ is more important at the dig site.

I think I know who is behind the things that are happening but it seems obvious and by the nature of ‘It is the least expected person’ I could be so wrong.

It is annoying yet, I suppose inevitable with young minds and modern technology to see the students following Emma. 

It might just be me but I have lost track as to what is happening. So the ‘Beads’ have nothing to do with it? Yet, I still don’t know/not sure. It looks strange, almost ‘Crazy’. Another crime scene. The drone evidence may have picked up something? All I do know is that there are just too many people listening. This is building a little intrigue into the mix. Another ‘Bead’ but why? 

It is nice to see the drone evidence is useful, but sadly, it is not enough to save the dig. Well going back to the eavesdropping one person could be helpful. 

Now how did Emma come to that conclusion? Oh ‘Fingerprints’ this part leading up to the scene is not clearly explained. The students could be onto something. I am so glad they are there as Emma is safer with some people having her back/looking out for her.

Now it turns silly, Emma is on a boat in the middle of water and she reveals some things that could potentially get her thrown overboard. ‘More’ oh I see it now. 

Again I love the images of the colony that continue to be conjured up after another find. Overall the special effects used to recreate some artifacts have been really well done and goes above and beyond for the nature of this film.
