old-fashioned, creepy flick

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2013)

overall a good movie. Creepy with enough suspense to keep you interested. However, not the scariest movie I've ever seen, or one that will keep me up at night. That may be a good thing for some viewers. The movie does contain scenes with children who are dead or dying, which some viewers may find particularly disturbing. Daniel Radcliff does an excellent job of acting. The marshland of 1900 England make an excellent backdrop for this eerie tail. The cinematography was impressive and really added to the affect of the movie. It gave you a sense of the loneliness and isolated of the estate. The scenery on its own make the movie worth watching. With only a 95 min runtime the time commitment for this movie is minimal, so you don't feel like you've wasted your whole day, or evening watching it.
