I started watching my recording half an hour in for the sole purpose of FFW the ads, but the number of interruptions meant it never really got going for me. Any tension just dissipated.
It was okay but there were no jumping out of my seat moments for me. The look on MM's face at the end when he looked a the kids was a bit silly.
It became rather too predictable as the story went on. Some spooky bits, but the atmosphere became less ghostly and more horror film towards the end.
Yes I agree about the predictability of it especially the twist at the end. I thought it was ok overall and quite well acted but it personally never really scared me at any stage.
There were few creepy moments but it just didn't make much sense which really annoys me. I love an ambiguous ending and thought the ending here was a fairly good twist, even though its been done before (although when did she suddenly become possessed?)
But its often the case with these types of shows that the writer/director just seem to add in creepy/unnerving scenes for the sake of it, without having a reason behind them.
- What the hell was the whole moor scene about - the kids being taken away in the driverless car and with the random painting of them walking across the moors?
- Why was the boy running around on all fours in the cellar - unless that was something else? He said he just woke up there - why? And why was it shut off? There didn't seem to be anything particularly special about it.
- How was that room nailed shut from the inside?
- What was with the whole sacrifice thing anyway and why did Radcliffe kill himself(?) by jumping out of the window onto the fountain after murdering his wife?
- Were none of the residents haunted when the house was a B&B?
- Why does the dead wife appear in a white nightgown most of the time except when she was chasing the girl towards the end where she was dressed in black? Why did it look like she was being strangled in the garden?
I could go on but perhaps I'm in the minority here in caring about these things. I enjoyed watching it and thought it had a pretty good atmosphere but a lot of it just seemed to be cobbled together.
I thought the music, especially early on, was often too dramatic.
Fair enough when something is happening, but when somebody is just moving around a room?

i thought that was a boy??
Yes, Harper was a boy, though for a while I thought he was a girl, it was the hair.

undeveloped scenes
awful cutting to adverts
utter bollocks
an episode of CONSTANTINE has more scares in it's first ten minutes than this amateur dramatics
