[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 344007, member: 8"] This was kinda watchable thanks to some interesting camera work and set designs, but the acting was awful. It's as if no one knew what script they were playing. So funny that Martin Landau knew that Vivian, in her last moments, was haunted by her own mother. As if it was something perfectly logical. The teacher's spirit is gone so yeah it's gotta be another one - because that's "how it always works". Well, I guess so.... They forgot about the pretty blonde girl on the beach and the film is mostly about lots of wind and hysterical, neurotic bitches. There's more subtlety in Dunaway's Joan Crawford than in Judith Anderson's performance of the witch-like housekeeper. At the end, the explanations kept coming and coming as if they didn't know how to stop, and I lost track of the who's and whats and whens. The scenes in the family burial tomb are the best because it looks like a maze of corridors and that itself is spooky enough. Overall, long-winded and kinda trashy. [/QUOTE]
