Award-winning TV director and short-film maker Adam Wimpenny graduates to his debut feature with this eventful ghost story, avowedly inspired by the look and feel of Joseph Losey's 1967 film Accident. The film has some nice touches and interesting locations, although I felt it was contrived and ties itself in knots delivering the final twist. Ed Stoppard plays Ben, a pushy history professor with a TV series under his belt; he has had to step down from his high-flying career after a breakdown and finally take a much humbler position at a lower-ranking college in the sticks. Ben and his wife Rachel (Sophia Myles) rent a creepy old house called Blackwood and soon the mercurial and highly-strung Ben feels that it is haunted by the ghost of a child, some apparent bygone act of madness and cruelty within these walls. Or is his medication just not working? Disfigured local workman Jack (Russell Tovey) and sinister clergyman Father Patrick (Paul Kaye) add more ripe flavour. It's a densely packed storyline that has to be crowbarred a bit to come to a resolution, and was perhaps a bit over-complicated and over-cooked. But Wimpenny's directorial promise is plain enough.
