Chilling! **SPOILER ALERT**

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2001)

I saw this yesterday and agree with all the acclaim it received. Yet for some reason only one of the suprises in the movie actually suprised me-the very end, the "Sixth Sense"-like ending. When the older lady servant was answering questions about where she and the other two servants had come from, I knew right then and there that they were not of this earth, the fact that they seemingly appeared out of nowhere gave it away, and they all seemed so vacant and "out there". I also knew right away that Charles was dead, he also had that same "vacany"a bout him. I have read a lot and seen many TV specials about the supernatural and ghosts over the years, so perhaps that is the reason why I wasn't as spooked as the rest of the audience was, which was disappointing! I know I would of been a lot more spooked if I went into this film with a clean slate. The little painting on the wall effect was simple yet effective!
