Wow! This is not just another silly TV horror movie, this is a classic! The original story, the great directing, photography and the superb score make this a must-see is you are into haunted house movies. Highly atmospheric! When will this movie get it's proper DVD release, I wonder? Ok, the fire effect is a little bit cheap, but on the other hand, who knows what a tight budget they had for this movie? And to come up with a great movie like this on tight budget makes it even more worth honoring. I wonder where the house is that they used for filming?

This movie is one of the rare masterpieces of movie history. It has an excellent cast, photography, editing, score, special-effects, settings, and so on! Everything is excellent in this movie! Just look at the lavish photography, the wonderful historical correct settings and props! The acting is of course simply great, too. Davis and Modine are just the right people for their roles. I guess such masterpieces like this that will become classics just have to flop at their first release, like Disney's "Fantasia" did. Renny Harlin can really be very proud of his present for Geena Davis.

If you like subtle psychological dramas/thrillers this is a movie for you. Those who want to see an ordinary sex'n'crime erotic thriller surely will not understand this movie, as Colin Firth obviously did when he called it "rubbish". But Jennifer Rubin is the real star of the movie anyway. She is such a brilliant and beautiful actress! Along with the twisting and turning storyline, that gets more and more psychological and makes you think about yourself, the wonderful directing, photography and especially the music make this movie a masterpiece. Also the small parts are very good, especially Belinda Waymouth is terrific in her small scene. I hope it gets released on DVD soon, and a soundtrack album would be a dream coming true!!
