“It is about 1945. Grace and her two children live in a large country house in Jersey, waiting for husband and father to return from the war. The children are ill, with acute photo-sensitivity, and must be kept in darkness at all times. Because of this, Grace imposes strict, oppressive, almost religious rules on the newly-arrived servants. After a short time, the children seem to be sensing a presence in the house. Could it be haunted? Does the house contain memories of a terrible hidden past?
A film that deserves to be seen twice, so clever is the plot and so shocking the final solution to the puzzle” . Marcus Perryman
