Atmospheric, Spooky, and ultimately...Chilling

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2007)

I hadn't heard of this film before its premiere on BBC1. I decided to tape it, after all the great reviews it got from IMDb users. I'm very glad that I did...
This little gem starts off with a Christian family living on an isolated island at the end of World War 2. The family have recently got some new servants, after the last set of servants 'disappeared' (the reason for this is explained at the end with an unforgettable twist). It is very clear that the mother isn't entirely stable, and when her daughter says she has seen a boy, and then an entire family who want to take over the whole house, she begins to get extremely paranoid, leading up to a great climax! This has everything: drama, suspense, horror, and it just oozes atmosphere, especially in the few final scenes, on a dark, misty night, when the truth behind the terrifying mystery is finally revealed!
For fans of subtle, scary ghost movies, give this one a look!
