a creepy victorian house surround by fog . thing that go bump in the night ( and at other time ) . creepy servant and scared child . a twist you can see come a mile off ( unless you have never see a film at all like this before ) . well make and solidly but unspectacularly make and and technically perfectly competent and but with a story and an ambience that be nothing new . anyone who have see the woman in black ( on stage or tv ) or any of a score of british ghost flick of the 1960s or 70 will find everything here amazingly familiar . that the others be be tout a a possible best film for 2001 be a extraordinary ( unlike the film ) .
