Cliché but enjoyable haunted locale opus

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2013)

Arriving at a secluded mansion to handle the sale of the building, a young lawyer finds the area haunted by the ghost of a vengeful woman the locals fear has ties to the area and tries to stop her rampage from continuing.
Overall not all that terribly interesting or enjoyable though it does have it's moments where it really tries. The grand Gothic house on the moors that's routinely covered in dense fog, dark, endless corridors shrouded in darkness and a strange secret from the locals are a few of the typical clichés found in this but strangely they work in creating a fantastic atmosphere here that is wholly enjoyable and impressive, especially once it gets to the second half and is allowed to really take hold as the legend becomes clearer and the action intensifies with some rather fun moments from time-to-time. The main problem here is the absolutely tedious pace this employs as it manages to plod along in the beginning of him alone in the house without anything really happening and the low-key nature of it really takes a hold. Plus, it's an abundance of clichés which leaves it feeling like a pale imitation of greater works so overall this one is quite troublesome.
Rated PG-13: Violence and children-in-jeopardy.
