I had to give this a 6, as I was only really interested for the first 10-15 minutes, and the last 10 minutes. The filmmakers could have done a lot better on the middle. It was quite slow, badly shot at times, and it the ending didn't live up to the slow build up. It was a good, creepy ending. But the flashbacks of Claire, were blurry and pointless (and as it turns out, not really relevant to the plot). Some plot holes aswell. The house they shot at, was a bit naff. Maybe it would have been a bit better in a different, "creepier" house. The beginning shots were good, and I liked how it ended, very disturbing.

Deeply irritating marital squabbles pad out a 22 minute stage play to a 90 minute paint dryer.

What starts as a Don't look now style ghost story (despite apparently being written before) quickly degenerates into a TV movie proto Shining about a sexed up joyless marriage with an obnoxious chauvinist and his long suffering victim. The transition from 35mm to video is a commencement marker of the absence of drama and intrigue as the turgid middle section endlessly repeats the same drama again and again. And again. Yes there are some smarts but its stretched so wafer thin to be rendered inconsequential.

Until the climactic reveal (maybe surprising in its day) finally puts this sick animal out of its misery with an obvious twist.

****SPOILERS*** Since the couples-Robert & Clair-played by David Hemmings & Gayle Hunnicutt-8 year old son David, Adam Bridge, drowned after slipping off a waterfall at a local river Clair ended up in a mental infatuation suffering from deep depression in feeling that she somehow was responsible for his death.

Driving to the out of the way mansion in the woods the couple have a near accident on the road due to the heavy fog that unsettles them and has the already unstable Clair want to turn back feeling that it's ,the near accident, an warning of things to come; She couldn't have been more right!

Creepy story about a woman-Clair-flipping out of her skull by hearing voices and seeing things that causes her at the time more or less stable husband-Robert-to almost join her. With no heat or electricity as well as running water in the mansion it makes one wonder why Robert would choose this place to help cure his wife's paranoia? constantly hearing voices as well as later seeing people in the place has Clair ready to be re-committed. But Robert wants to cure her in his own way by confronting what's driving her nuts that's soon causing him to lose it as well!

****SPOILERS****After spending an horrific night at the mansion It's finally decided by Robert to go along with his wife's wishes and to leave the place as soon as possible or as the sun comes up. With Robert going to get the car Clair can't wait any longer and runs out of the mansion to meet him. And it's there that the two both meet the fate which they were totally unaware of that brought them there in the very first place!
