Description: Film- visual confirmation that the British – unsurpassed master of the gloom , Gothic and mysticism. They ( really! ) that no castle or mansion , then a crowd of creepy ghosts and chilling legends that no noble family , then with a bunch of family portraits on the walls of family skeletons in closets, crypts and dungeons. And it actively and described is described in the literature there the show and in the movies . And it’s all quite fascinating , if, of course , performed brilliantly , or at least soundly. Call this mystical picture talented would compliment and soundly – disparagement of its merits . And because it is located somewhere between these definitions.
With the ” frightening ” the audience is all right (especially remembered ” horrendous ” facial expressions of the main character ) . Impressive and severed crawling hand and choking ( like we saw in the ” Diamond Hand ” in a nightmare Kozodoeva 4 years “before” and a whole series of works “after” – even in the animated series ” Drakulito – Vampirenysh ” ( Handy ) ) . Acting – ” not sparkling , but adequate .” Overall, not steep , but quite watchable movie , even now . Late in the evening comes , as a home .
And the thoughts of some casts , seditious enough for the British aristocracy. Indeed, judging by the literature and cinema, many of her ancestors were rarest scum , which for their sins were imposed curse ( at least for the Baskervilles , at least for Fengriffenov ) . And they did not place in the generic ” iconostasis “, and in the museum of Scotland Yard , despite valiant brandishing swords in any battle of any village for any king. One would like to ask: Do you gentlemen , gentlemen ? and lords you , lords ?

The above pseudo description/review/ramble is a classic for this site.
What’s wrong with:-
‘In 1795, in England, the young woman Catherine moves to the house of her fianceé Charles Fengriffen in the country to get married to him. When she arrives, she feels drawn to the portraits of the Fengriffen family, particularly the one of Charles’ grandfather Henry Fengriffen, who seems to have a sort of evil entity possessing him. While admiring Henry’s face, a severed hand attacks Catherine through the picture on the wall. Later, she gets married to Charles, beginning her journey of mystery, eerie apparitions, secrets and deaths, and having her days filled with fear and the nights with horrors in a cursed family.’

Great movie. Reading the comments on IMDB got me interested in watching it. I wasn’t disappointed in the least.
