A couple Robert and Claire go to an isolated house that belonged to her aunt to find peace and rest after the accidental death of their son and Claire's subsequent break down and suicide attempts. While there she starts to hear voices. Based on a stage play it is mainly confined to one set and with only Robert and Claire on screen most of the time. At 91 minutes it is too long and would have been better done in an hour.The mixture of coping with bereavement and a ghost story doesn't really work in this case.
David Hemmings as Robert and Gayle Hunnicutt as Claire are fine in their roles, too well actually as the grimness of their mutual emotional roller coaster ride overwhelms any ghostly tension so the supernatural element seems completely unnecessary. The ending where they find they are the real ghosts who project into the past is a bit of a let down. Apart from the good acting and a brooding music score by.Richard Rodney Bennett it''s a bit of a slog to sit through.
