A very solid, enjoyable old dark house thriller, which mainly consists of Daniel Radcliffe walking around an old dark house being scared. It's a smart way for him to graduate from the Harry Potters as that's what happened in those movies a lot - he's not very convincing as a lawyer or a father, but he does have that "period" look.
Not a lot of it is new, make that none of it - creepy dolls, monkey toys that play chimes, corridors, swamps, creepy babies, ghosts, graveyards, lower class servants, police who don't pay attention, crazy ladies. But it's done with style, some impressive production design and support cast, and there were lots of genuinely creepy moments.
