Rarely do I not persist and keep watching, even when I know something is bad , but in this case I made an exemption !
I gave up with one episode to go , thats how much I did'nt care
This was a complete mess from the word go .
Unconvincing, unlikeable characters , bad acting ( apart from the brilliant Toni Collette ) and boring plot .
The daughter Andy was quite honestly the most irritating , whingy , useless and dull character that I have seen in while.
I just could not listen to her anymore , what a pain !
Apart from her , the stroryline was slow , not engaging at all .
A huge dissapointment , I think that maybe Karen Slaughter might not be very happy with this adaptation .
Perhaps the book is better , I hope so .

I watched this last night , not really expecting it to be any good , but , I was very surprised by it .
Now, having said that , it certainly was'nt perfect .
The plot was a bit confusing at times , but the ending explained a lot , I like it when a movie gets you thinking one way , as in predicting the ending yourself , and then turns you in a different direction, unexpectedly !
The house itself was so atmospheric , beautiful and classic .
I did get a little hint of Hitchcock here and there , no harm in directors dipping in and out of classic movies, I have no problem with that !
All in all I thought this was a very good thriller , perhaps not horror , but very captivating .

This series is just.....bizarre !
It is all over the place and not very good , a plot that just gets more ridiculous as it goes on , ten episodes ...way too long The character Grace is just , how can I put this ? Ya that's it ...... Stupid.
And the rest of them are'nt much better ,accents are all over the place , American , British , and Irish , and when I say Irish I mean a very bad Belfast accent, almost brogue at times , I laughed out loud .
I stuck it out to the end , I really did'nt care about keeping up , I just enjoyed watching Billy Zane , who is one of my favourites !
He made this worth my time , he always delivers .
