Watching this movie, it feels like the beginning of a series, but evidently it is not--it is a "one-off" movie.
If it were a beginning of a series, I would have rated it a bit higher.
Nathalie Cox and Kelsey Grammer are enjoyable enough to follow around for a blessedly short hour and a half. But as a movie on its own, I agree with the consensus of reviews here, that it is too slight to rate much higher than a 6.
Magnetic performers like Tara Fitzgerald are given too little to do here. And the haunted house theme itself is barely developed. There is barely any suspense beyond Louise Bangay as Helen Deakin shivering in fear a few times.
As far as the mystery is concerned, and its solution, Miss Willoughby recounts for Robert how she figured out what was going on. But there's nothing much brilliant going on, in the way she figures things out.
Miss Willoughby simply followed a hapless co-conspirator, who leads her to his partner, and everything is revealed to the watching Miss Willoughby, who then allows herself get captured.
