Synopsis

Somerset 1894. When a pioneering Victorian psychologist brings his vivacious young wife to live on his family's estate, he is confronted by one disturbing case after another.

Wordiezett So much average
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
PodBill Just what I expected
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
callalily-61774 Love this show, wish they were bringing it back. But still worth watching even knowing that it is cancelled. Colin Morgan is amazing as always; he is so good at becoming his characters. Atmospheric, great plot, good music. Can be kind of slow. But loved when the pieces started falling into place, and you could see the connections they had been setting up. Very well plotted. I would have loved to see where it was going next.
eshens I never watched horror/scary movies because I don't like the feeling to have my heart in my mouth; I made the exception for Colin Morgan. It turned out to be great fun watching it, my heart stayed at its original place, only jumping a little faster sometimes. There wasn't anything too gruesome to watch. Maybe it is not suitable for kids under 10, that's for the parents to decide. The writing is well done. Even though it's supernatural, the timing going back and forth did make sense to me. The acting is very good (of course, especially Colin Morgan). I highly recommend this.
askmom-56095 This show is very well acted. The setting and scenery is magnificent. As an American watching, I love the historical references emerging through the story. Colin Morgan and Charlotte Spencer make a wonderful couple. The plot, itself, reminds me of the series Ghost Whisperer (2005-2010), in which Jennifer Love Hewitt's character solves mysteries related to those haunting the living. This is much deeper, but still retains that episodic start to finish feeling. I became familiar with Colin Morgan watching Merlin (2008-2012). His acting completely impressed me. I hope to find other works he has been/is involved with. I am desperately waiting the release of The Rising. I truly think Mr. Morgan can carry the weight of the big screen.
roguegrafix This is a breath of fresh air. A Classic creepy door, image-in-the- mirror-flash ghost story. Reminiscent of "A Woman in Black" and borrows from "The Others." But very well. The atmosphere is dark--set in rural England in the 1890s -- it is easy to forget just how isolated rural communities were then. Episode 1 is a cracker. The next few set the scene. Episode 5 is just AWESOME in horror content. Posca (Nicholas Woodeson), from Rome, is terrific. Episode 6 clarifies everything and hopefully sets up series 2.I watched it during daylight hours. Very good. Very spooky. Enjoy.
