In 1928, David returns to England to teach at Cambridge. Besides teaching, David is an author who exposes false mediums and spiritualist. While he has never found a person who can communicate with the "dearly departed", his continues to accept challenges. For this reason, and the desperate letter he receives from Miss Webb, he heads to Edbrook to investigate her claims of spirits who torment her. At Edbrook Hall, David meets beautiful Christina and her two brothers who live in the house with Nanny Tess. Comments: I liked this ghost story. it has a real story to tell. I don't like many ghost stories but this didn't contain excessive gore. My only complaint is the nudity. It was not necessary. The two leads, Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale used body doubles. The movie would have been just as effective to just not use body doubles at all. The actors were effective enough on their own to display the passion they had for each other and to show the daring nature of the Christina Marielle character. Quinn and Beckinsale have great onscreen chemistry despite their real life 14 year age difference. Anthony Andrews is effectively creepy. I was happy to come upon this gem.

Personal quotes "If someone had told me years ago that sharing a sense of humor was so vital to partnerships, I could have avoided a lot of sex!" "No one is more enslaved than a slave who doesn't think they're enslaved." "I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring." "If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humour."
