Come on and scare me, already!

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2001)

Well acted with an appropriate atmosphere for any one who really enjoys classic ghost stories from authors such as Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edith Wharton (of course, I'm not saying that this film in any way measures up to their stories cause it does not). It's a period piece, and that's one of the most charming things about the film, that and the fact that most scenes are lit by candle light alone.
All and all, I can't give this movie a great review. It was much to slow and too many scares were not where they should have been. The director teased the audience constantly, and not in a good way. While the many plot twists and turns were very engaging welcomed, the movie just didn't have enough "ommph" to be great. It would have been a great comeback for old fashioned ghost stories, if not for it's flaws.
