More Info

It begins with the scream of a woman awaking from a nightmare, and goes from there. Set in a fog-enshrouded house in England after World War 2, Grace (played by Nicole Kidman, in her second surprisingly great movie this year) and her children grapple with terror, madness, and what might lie beyond. Excellent visual work, mood build up, and stage / lighting work. This is classic style horror, very well done. The creeps continue to tingle after the end credits have finished.
