Nicely presented old-fashioned ghost story with a satisfying, well rounded plot-line!

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2012)

A classical, old-fashioned haunted house ghost story that maintains an atmosphere of constant dread and provides the occasional jumps and shrills without resorting to cheap tricks or getting unnecessarily gory. The story-line is satisfying though predictable but that's acceptable given the fact that the novel has been around for a while and central plot/theme may have been used by horror flicks over the years. The performances are good, mostly subtle and low-key but that is consistent with the mood of the movie and certainly a strong plus in the age where mediocre performances are the norm for horror movies. Overall, a sure- watch for horror fans.
