- 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.

Weird things begin happening immediately, but the film implies it may all be in wifey's mind. The discovery of a hidden room, and a black dog prowling the grounds takes the plot into generic possession/ haunting territory, but dead daughter subplot takes it into tragedy/ family drama territory. We are introduced to who I believe was intended to be the token psychic woman, who disappeared as quickly as she appeared, which lead me to wonder why she was even there. Twice the film tried to bring a third party/ love interest into the plot, before dropping one completely, and killing the other, without anything further being mentioned about him.
This entire film is like that, with seemingly only the beginning of its plot threads being explored, then dropped entirely. The film never climaxes, so much as it just stops, with nothing remotely close to closure to any of its numerous plot threads.
Well acted, and there is enough atmosphere in the Gothic home, but whole chunks of the plot seem to have been edited out prior to release, giving the film an unsatisfactory, unfinished feel.
