Forced to live in complete darkness, because of Anne and Nicholas’ fatal condition of not being able to be exposed to sunlight, Grace has to close the curtains in all of the rooms whenever her children are present. This adds to the mystery and darkness of the story. The Servants that had lived with them in the house left one day without a warning and so, Grace had to look for new servants for her house. In that moment Bertha, Edmund and Lydia arrive at the house ready to work. While the time that they are there many things are discovered, mysterious things happen like random noises, the children say they see other people in the house which seem to possibly be ghosts trying to get them out of the house. A twist is then thrown at the end of the movie which reveals the true meaning of all of the supernatural things happening around the mansion and discovers the true identities of the servants that arrived. According by Jordan Hiller, This movie is “A winner in a number of ways… It'll give you something to think about in the shower or in the bathroom in general. Also, for better or worse depending on how much you like sleeping, it will come back to haunt you when you lie in bed at night” (Hiller).
