While awaiting her husband's return from war, Grace (Kidman) and her two young children live an unusually isolated existence behind the locked doors and drawn curtains of a secluded island mansion. Then, after three mysterious servants arrive and it becomes chillingly clear that there is far more to this house than can be seen, Grace finds herself in a terrifying fight to save her children and keep her sanity!

Works quite well.......the dark house and creepy servants combine to create a genuinely unsettling spooky atmosphere......The plot loses it's way in the middle somewhat, but on the whole an entertaining movie. Nicole does well, as does Fionnula Flanagan and Eric Sykes as the servants.
