This should had been a charming ghost story.
Teenager James Greville has lived in a children's home since the death of his parents. He discovers that he has a Great Uncle living in a vast mansion, Greville Lodge. James goes to stay with him and the housekeeper over Christmas to get to know him.
At night James hear strange noises and when venturing to a part of the mansion he finds himself transported to the past, a time when his great uncle was a young lad. James finds out that he has visited a time when a tragedy took place in Greville Lodge that still affects his great uncle and the housekeeper.
This should be family film for everyone to enjoy. The trouble is the film is just derivative and dull. The lad playing the main lead is plain. Even George Cole is a little bit lifeless which is a shame. It all looks a little low budget and I can see the kids getting easily bored.
