Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) 08/04/2014
3/5
So trad it could have been made in the 60s, Blackwood nevertheless has the courage of its old-school convictions. Go to Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 08/01/2014
3/5
The film-makers create a genuinely unsettling atmosphere and crank up the tension in effective fashion... Unfortunately, in the final reel, the film lurches into Grand Guignol silliness. Go to Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine 07/31/2014
2/5
A hokey, clich-mining horror that boasts the odd haunted-house shock for the hardy viewer. Go to Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue 04/03/2019
2/5
Blackwood's over-reliance on the sudden materialising of various apparitions to illicit jumps never quite works. Go to Full Review Brigit Grant Daily Express (UK) 08/23/2017
3/5
With handsome Greg Wise playing a former colleague of dubious intent, the plot thickens to an interesting twist without scaring the bejeebers out of you. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow 08/24/2015
A standard haunted house set-up, only with strong acting, handsome cinematography, and an old-fashioned sense of crafty restraint. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert W 10/19/2024 Classic horror movie with a great twist at the end. Perfect for Halloween!! See more 04/21/2016 Poor script and bland performances make this Shining clone a dull film. See more 06/01/2015 Just another haunted house horror. See more 04/09/2015 Atmospheric but tediously dull and shock, scare free? Interesting cast and an unusual twist but overall its only an ok film See more 03/24/2015 A typical psychological drama that leaves little to the imagination. If you want mystery and suspense then I suggest a different film. See more 03/01/2015 Tried to be clever with the classic ghost story format but forgot to try and make it work.
