This popped on my radar as a revival of famed Hammer Films studio. Other movies came out before and since, but this one is the only one that got any attention.
Radcliffe is a single dad widower who has to settle a will as the final chance to stay employed at his firm. He stays in a spooky house and there's a ghost lady who lures children to their deaths.
I remember reviews saying this was Hammer's return to form, but the original Hammer films went for the jugular a bit more. This one was trying for atmosphere, but it just one "I think there's something behind me...nope, nothing there" gag after another. Derived more from Asian ghost movies than any Hammer output. Most of the tension in the film was worrying if he was going to be able to finish is work on time while he spent hours slowly walking around with a candle.
