This is a wonderfuly made movie. It has a little of everything (love, magic, history, family problems, jelousy, suicide and murder) without adding the sex and gore. I even let my 5 year old watch it. She askes for it all the time. It's the only movie she sees that has a skeleton in it, and she already knows about bones, nerves, muscles, etc. I have watched it many times and it still makes me cry.

This is a moving, tender, yet still frightening version of Wilde's classic. Patrick Stewart shines in the role of Sir Simon, and it's so sweet to see him portraying Hamlet's father. Neve Campbell does an excellent job in the role of the empathetic and kind Virginia, who believes in and befriends Sir Simon.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Simon Canterville.

Highly recommended.

A family moves into a castle haunted by a ghost. He soon befriends the daughter, and they form a special bond. Nothing too special, but this is one of Neve's first movies, and she's wonderful in it.

Wow! what a great movie. Patrick Stewart does a great job as the ghost. It has a light hearted teenage love story. We have seen several other versions of this story and this by far is our favorite. It has great special effects and good story line that involves all the family characters. Your whole faimly would enjoy this movie.

I first saw this movie four or five yeas ago and the from the moment I saw it I loved it. It was the first movie that ever made me cry and ever since there have only been one or two others. Not violent or vulgar like some movies, The Caterville Ghost has a certain magic that keeps it great.
