It took a while (in the film) I kind of got to like this film. The small scene set in the U. S. A. Clearly showed a disfunctional family. Money in abundance, but a sense of what we are living for missing, apart for the mother. Then we get transported to England and London. The husband got an opprtunity to work there. O.k., one couild sense he needed that as he was just bored and wasting his time in the U. S. A. Being a househusband. The setting is a mansion. No, it was not haunted, unless you take into account the souls of the family, hubby, wife, daughter and son, it can't get more textbook formulaic. Then the story unfolds into something completely different. Set in the mid 1980s it has a nice soundtrack, but it gets tedious. The acting isn't that bad, I think the actress that played the wife was by far the best and most convincing. I am not really into westerns, not that this is one, but even the sight of a horse already makes me cringe. The only film with a horse I could stand what lean on Pete. And the horse takes a part in this film as well. A particularly weird scene at the end. The film clearly shows the greed of the main character and the tricks he plays to obtain it as quickly as possible. But failing to. It might have worked better a s a tv series. We now watch and at the end think, o.k. This was it then.
