In 7 words or less: 18th century ghost bothers Donald Sutherland.Best bits? The weird fading in and out of black and white all the time didn't actually bother me; I actually thought it was quite cool and made for more interesting scares. The period setting definitely enhances this ghostly tale, there's something innately scary about 'the olden days'.
The scares are all 'ghost in your house' based which I love. Starts extremely subtle and slowly builds to terrifying proportions.
Did it make you think thoughts? This was scary! The scares are a little repetitive but that repetitiveness really grinds you down making for an interesting watch. The premise seems pretty 'Exorcist' based at the beginning but if I got the (less than obvious) twist at the end then it's bloody horrific!
The problem with this film is I felt nothing afterwards. A great ghost based film should leave you thinking for days afterwards in my book.
Would you watch it again? Yeah, I'd watch it on Halloween for some really good scares!
Rating (out of 100%): 70% A good effort and an interesting twist on a slightly tired genre. Just felt the scares could have maybe meant a bit more so they lingered with you post watch.
