- Quotes
Dana Barrow: See, it's gone unchecked for a while.
Ben: Lucky it didn't cave. Lucky I stopped by when I did.
Dana Barrow: Well, and lucky for you people around here like to gossip.
Ben: That they do. Also heard you were an architect or something.
Dana Barrow: Yeah or something.
Ben: Well, maybe we should talk about money.
Dana Barrow: Well, that's a little premature.
Ben: Come again?
Dana Barrow: You haven't been hired yet.
Ben: No?
Dana Barrow: No.
Ben: There's nothing I can do to change your mind?
David Barrow: Hello.
Dana Barrow: David... uh this is my husband, David. David this is Ben Philips, Jr.
David Barrow: Yes, the legend. Hey! Nice to meet you.
Ben: Likewise.
Dana Barrow: Mr. Philips is here about the leak.
David Barrow: Right, Ben works fine. Great Ben, when can you start?
Dana Barrow: No, that's still up in the air.
Ben: Soon as you pull the trigger.
David Barrow: We should probably get on this right away babe, don't you think?
Dana Barrow: David...
Ben: The next couple of weeks are kind of busy, but I am free now.
David Barrow: What is this? This is water damage, right? Does this floor need to go?
Ben: Yes. Look we get a dehumidifier in here we can actually save most of this wood. Just say the word.
David Barrow: Great. Well, yes, we want you to start as soon as possible.
Ben: All right.
Dana Barrow: No, uh, what I would like is for Mr. Philips to come back here when it hasn't been raining for a few days, and the two of us can get upon that roof and see what's what. That way once the situation's been thoroughly and properly assessed, then we can talk about hours and materials and the scope of work in a manner that's not been pulled directly out of our asses. And what I'd also like is to agree on a deadline which if not met, means revisiting the terms of the contract with the probability of penalties paid to us by you for each day of work exceeding the original agreement. Now if that all sounds acceptable, I'll be happy to resume this conversation at a later date. But, in the meantime it was a pleasure meeting you Mr. Philips and uhm, my husband, David, will show you out. David if you wouldn't mind.
- Crazy creditsTitle doesn't show until the end of the movie: before the rolling credits.
- Alternate versionsA dramatic dinner scene that includes Beckinsale's character having a drunken breakdown was included in the US theatrical release of the film, but no subsequent DVD or digital versions include this scene.

I went into the movie expecting a ghost story. What I ended up seeing is this some sort of psychological thriller staring Kate Beckinsale. She plays a architect who moves into a new house in the country with her family in order to get over the lost of a child, when she discovers a previous owner also lost their child on the same day and are hunting the room that they kept this child, who was a deformed girl born to a well to do family that wanted to keep their shame under wraps.
Kate Beckinsale does a really good job at playing a woman distressed over loosing a child. Most movies don't usually show this part of the break down, as her character develops a drinking habit, starts looking at her husband differently, to the point that a new man has a chance to interfere with the relationship, and she's becoming distance from the child she still has, in most movies this happens before that family moves into the house, but hear it actual seems to be happening during.
What takes away from this performance is the uneven dual plots with the ghost of their new home hunting Beckinsale's character, driving her crazy by putting ideas into her head about her feelings towards her dead child.
Having two movies in one can sometimes work (Like it did in From Dust Still Dawn), but here I feel the filmmakers never were quite sure about what they wanted the movie to be, which really effected it poorly.
