Or was it gone with the dust? Nah, probably not. But there is quite some dust here to ... dust off. The making of this and generally the story behind the making of this is more fascinating than the movie itself. Which isn't bad at all whatsoever. A really interesting thriller slash horror slash paranormal movie. The director does believe in certain things and to fully appreciate the movie you should at least be open to the while thing. Even if just for entertainemnt and the film purposes! Don't be close minded, don't rip the fun out, before you even watch it.
Having said that, really nice cast overall and good performances. I watched the final cut and the even longer cut, that had many scenes included in badly repaired or restoreds scenes. And if you try to listen to the audio commentary ... daymn. One would think that with technology nowadays, they could record it so you can clearly hear a person - and not have background noise that is seriously annoying.
All that aside, it is a fine movie, with an interesting story to boast. Maybe if the producers would have trusted the director more, there could have been an even better picture overall. Maybe he wasn't there yet anyway - whatever the case Richard Stanley is quite the individual and his movies are unique in many ways
