...it's not bad, but it's definitely not great.
I found Evie to be an extremely annoying character. She's given an all expense paid "vacation" to England. Her new found cousin arranged for her to stay in a mansion, yet she complained about everything and (nearly) everyone.
Granted some of the people she met were off-putting, but you would think she attempt to be somewhat tolerate...at least at first. Nope!
Naturally, later on, Evie finds out that nothing is exactly as she expected, but at first, she should have been a little more grateful.
The "Lord of the Manor" came to her room and tried to apologize and she was still fairly snarky. Maybe she was playing "hard to get." I don't know, but her acting abilities for this role were off.
I'm sure the "help" noticed other servants missing on a regular basis. Some had apprehensions of performing certain tasks. If so, why stay there doing a job that may cause you to mysteriously disappear? Maybe they were under a spell. It's not explained well.
Another key point that wasn't explained well was the backstory of the woman who hung herself. If she was a vampire, simply hanging herself wouldn't have killed her (unless she decapitated herself in the process).
The movie was too slow in several scenes. If more time was spent explaining more of the backstories or less time was spent with filler material, this would have been a better movie.
The ending is horrible. If the last scene was placed after the credits, I would have been upset to wait around to watch it. The movie would have been better off with the final scene cut.
The trailer gave too much away to the plot. Watch the trailer and then watch the movie when it comes on cable. It's not worth a trip to the theater.
