I really liked this cozy little horror flick. Mix a nice atmosphere (a mansion), three old gentlemen (read "three horror icon actors"), some thunder, a piano apparently playing by itself, a madman/freak running the forests around the mansion ... even an old doll looking a bit scabby. All the traditional ingredients. But all in a nice, gentle kind of way. All topped with a teaspoon of humor and glint in the eye (I really liked the meeting between the two young tourists and the old gentlemen). All mixed together with a plot filled with secrets and old dark family affairs. Some nice and even a couple of unexpected twists and turns.
Don't expect the best darned horror movie you've ever seen, nor the scariest. Just a good play with old clichés. That's what it was to me. Definitely nothing we've never seen before, but nor the worse in that genre. A pretty good cozy thriller, that's it.
