The film itself is deeply flawed with a script that's pretty bizarre in places due to incompetent writing and some equally incompetent acting by all except Nesbitt. It's also not in the least bit horrifying (although there were one or two really cool ghostly shots). However there's also a lot i really enjoyed.
Margam Castle (A genuine Victorian mansion in South Wales) is a stunning location - Seriously, every old dark house movie should be filmed there - and the cinematography complements it beautifully with some amazing shots. The score is also excellent. A mixture of known public domain classics beautifully arranged and new music which as an accompaniment to the photography brings a soothing calmness to the ham fistedness of other parts of the film.
It actually has enough about it technically to make it an enjoyable watch even on second viewing and i was never bored. |
