Professor Ben Marshall (Ed Stoppard) has had some pyschological issues that appear to be in the past. He starts lecturing at a new university and has acquired the old estate Blackwood where he lives with his wife Rachel (Sophia Myles) and son Harry (Isaac Andrews). Ben starts to see and hear things and wonders if he is having a relapse or is he seeing ghosts. Ben become obsessed with the ghosts and believes he has the answer in an unsolved murder.
I admit the film did give an unexpected twist. The problem was the characters were not overly likeable, especially Ben the main character. The story had no real protagonist, a mystery, and a ghost story that wasn't horrifying.
Guide: No nudity. 3 F-bombs. Attempted rape. Not a bad story, but I would rather watch "The Shining" for the umpteenth time.
