About

You may enjoy this if you like old-fashioned haunted-house mysteries with campy charm and a cozy stormy-night mood, especially in the vein of Burnt Offerings or The Watcher in the Woods; Not for you if you want fast pacing or strong scares.

Pros: spooky manor atmosphere; horror icon ensemble; fun gothic mystery | Cons: slow pace; weak comedy; uneven acting
