After the death of her sister, Patricia Woodhouse inherits her family's estate and soon discovers that something or someone has been haunting the home for decades and harbors a disturbing family secret that she must uncover. This is a remake of the 2014 movie The Haunting Of Baylock Residence.

Patricia has been estranged from her sister for quite a few years due to a family feud, but still goes to her funeral. That's when she meets Annabel Blair, who informs her that she's inherited the house. However, there's a secret inside it that may cost Patricia her life as well/

Director Anthony M. Winson also created the film that this remakes. He bases his films around Nottinghamshire, England. This movie is all about how that country felt around 1944, along with the undercurrent of the supernatural.

Following her sisters' death, a woman attends her funeral with the rest of her family where she learns she's inherited a large gothic mansion in the countryside and moves in, only to begin to fear for her life when a series of ghastly secrets lurking within the house threatens to expose itself.

This was a pretty solid and enjoyable if flawed supernatural thriller. What works best for this one is the general buildup about the main characters' mental state being in the house as the psychological impact here is what sells the film. Given that it takes place in the appropriate type of Gothic-styled house to do so, from the creaky structure, long corridors, billowing curtains and generally spacious floor-plans that drip with the gothic atmosphere the scares that emerge here begin to feel genuine. With the gradual decline of her sanity and growing belief that something's happening to her due to being in the house, this comes across rather nicely with the wholesale inclusion of some action set-pieces in the final trying to get herself under control about the situation that she's in. This is all that raises the film up for the most part. There's one main problem to be had with this one, though, that derails the film. That is the utterly abysmal job of trying to make the film interesting and worth caring about. Barely anything that happens here is worthwhile, relying on a dull and utterly drab feel that's not in the slightest bit interested in doling out horror viewpoints for the melodrama about her slipping sanity as the repetition about trying to remain calm despite her growing hysterics that say otherwise soon grows old. Likewise, the films' drabness also extends to the mere fact that it never for once feels like a period piece, as despite being set during the Second World War that fact can be entirely forgotten about without altering the film much, another example of some of the weak writing on display much like the lack of interest which all tend to lower this one.

Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Language.

Quite why they made this remake I cannot fathom, let alone why it was set in wartime. The heroine's clothes, hair and make up were 10 years ahead of time, and some extras in a bizarre 'air raid shelter' (or 'thin sheet of painted corrugated iron' by a 1970s wall, to be exact) scene seemed to have been dressed by a 1990s jumble sale, with hair in a style no 40s woman would have been seen dead in, war or no war. Decor was courtesy of the 1980s - polyester peach-coloured ruffles included.

The story could have held promise, but the acting, settings, decor, costumes etc made me wonder if setting it in the present may have been wiser if their increased (?) budget didn't make it possible to achieve any kind of temporal accuracy. I even heard a radio announcer referring, in a non RP voice, to June 6 - US date format never used then - on a portable radio standing on a mangle! It may have given a sense of what was happening, but radios were very heavy and large, NEVER portable.

Suffice to say that the huge inaccuracies simply spoilt the film for me. It was like watching an amateur production. Sadly disappointing.
