Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Invisible Guardian (2017)

Detective is sent to her Spanish home town (where it is ALWAYS raining) to lead an investigation into the serial killings of teenage girls. It's pretty rote stuff -- a religious aspect, a ritual, etc. There are also a lot of flashbacks to the detective's childhood, in which she was despised and regularly abused by her mother, despite her sisters being treated well. The mother's behavior is never explained; it's just another moody movie bit to add to the pile, I guess.

But, with all that standard angsty stuff, there's also a Bigfoot "spirit of the forest" being helping them solve the crime, which is pretty darn dumb.
