Maybe I am just sensitive but this movie scared the pee out of me! That owl girl still creeps me out and I have not seen it in years. I don't think I could bring myself to watch it...

Other than that, I thought the acting was very nice and the story was well done. Vanessa Redgrave is almost always a winner and she turns in another great performance here.

Still, watch out for that owl girl if you watch this...

I watched this movie many years ago and I really enjoyed it. Somewhat low budget but I still enjoyed it!

For an independent film, the movie was pretty good. Some scenes are suspenseful and creepy, but the movie is more of a drama. The film is about a father who is haunted by his dead daughter, and goes looking for her spirit. And a lost soul tries to keep him from finding her. Most of the movie was good, but did drag at points. I was a little disappointed that the movie did not have a lot of frightening scenes, which would have made the movie a little better. But, over all, there is good acting, an interesting plot, and a movie that could have released in theaters (limitedly though).

This movie was a bit odd. I enjoyed it, however. It was a rather low-budget affair, but well done nonetheless. Vanessa Redgrave was wonderful as usual, however I wasn't always convinced of her blindness. The main players were Patrick Bergin and Vanessa Redgrave and the camera was tuned to their attractiveness, both physical and emotional. It felt to me that the other characters (the wife and daughters) were not given as much of the movie budget for pretty clothes or attractive hairstyles. The South is a wonderful backdrop for this mysterious story. Not knowing how Rudyard Kipling (the author of the original short story) would end it was suspenseful ... happy ending or sad?
