A relatively obscure British film, though with a recognizable (and solid) cast. It's yet another haunted house tale, but more original than the usual generic stories and predictable nonsense that we get in a lot of these spook films.
As the history of the place unfolds, we find out that the previous owner had killed his wife and children, which in itself is nothing revolutionary or new, but the clever twist involves the fact that his wife and even his kids were deranged, basically unhinged psychopaths hence that their murders were basically justified. The final twist, involving the real identity of the new "owner", is also a fun bit of writing, though perhaps a tad far-fetched.
There are some interesting twists and touches, and style-wise it's pretty good for a TV movie.
