Wanting to escape city life for the saner, safer countryside, New Yorkers Cooper Tilson (Dennis Quaid), his wife Leah (Sharon Stone), and their two children move into a dilapidated old mansion still filled with the possessions of the previous family. Turning it into their dream house soon becomes a living nightmare when the previous owner (Stephen Dorff) shows up, and a series of terrifying incidents lead them on a spine-tingling search for clues to the estate's dark and lurid past.

The vampires’ soon-to-be deceased daughter accuses her father of running over a horse, whose body is floating in a pool with no way out. And let me point out that there was no Dorset horse fetishists' fair that day! This is how it goes in this run-of-the-mill thriller with an inflated runtime. Mike Figgis, realizing he has a failed script, wraps up the fiasco in the last fifteen minutes with unexpected thunderstorms, a sheep-killing instrument, and a stained-glass window for a nice flight through. To be honest, I was quite surprised that the villain bit the dust on the first try. The only positive is that Quaid could learn something from Dorff, as he took on his role in the 2019 film The Intruder.
