I quite enjoyed this low-key tale of a young couple moving into a house in Spain. It has been inherited by Sarah (Elena Delia) much to her surprise, and her and boyfriend Jared's (Luke Bailey) delight in discovering the spacious rooms and new home comforts endears us to them. So, when inevitably unpleasant things start to happen, we're on their side.
Unfortunately, these occurrences are far from horrific and this isn't down to the low budget. Director Nicholas Winter fails to invest anything that might frighten, or indeed much in the way of atmosphere. Instead, it falls to the small cast to react to and fall under the influence of the evil influence Sarah's dead mother (whose house this was) has left there. This asks too much of the actors, who work hard, but aren't helped by a lack of any tangible nastiness. My score is 5 out of 10.
