Streaming on Netflix, you can check out the French thriller, The Chalk Line (2022). A mystery that turns even darker in the final act.
A married couple, Paula and Simon, come upon a young girl wandering in the road. Unwilling to speak and ill they take her to a hospital for treatment. When it is found that the girl will only respond to Paula the hospital releases the girl into their custody. The girl, whom they call Clara, will not go beyond chalk lines she draws on the floor and has only said a few words, discovered to be German, over the next few weeks. Incidents occur which seem to indicate that the child might be trying to harm others, but Paula decides to investigate on her own when the police show no interest.
A decent thriller and mystery, as we are left uncertain if it is the girl doing these things and why. No spoilers, but the third act begins to show events from a different perspective and the mystery begins to unravel.
