Quite differently from usual for adaptations of this type, this movie is set in the 1960s. The loving recreation of the 60s that we see in the beginning, believe it or not, is the best part of the movie. Then when we go to the estate and get down to the business of all the boo-stuff, it just completely runs out of steam. English ghost stories have their cliches, too, and while they're still better pound for pound than '80s slasher movies, this one shouldn't get special treatment
