Quotes:
Virginia 'Ginny' Otis: When a gentle girl can win a prayer from out the lips of sin/when a child gives up tears and the baron almond bears/when the silent chapel bell sounds the ghostly sinners knell/then shall all the house be still, and peace shall come to Canterville. more

Good TV Movie, Made Better by Neve Campbell, 6 February 1999
9/10
Author: Saayman from Cape Town, South Africa

A Family moves into a castle where a ghost continues to haunt them. The parents think that it is the daughter (Neve Campbell) who is playing practical jokes on them, because she never wanted to move to the castle in the first place.

This is a good movie, but it is made even better by the presence of a fine actress such as Neve Campbell. This movie was made in her pre-Scream days, so she wasn't very well known at the time. She delivers a wonderful performance, as does Patrick Stewart, who plays the ghost. I recommend this movie to Neve's fans and to people who like fairy tales

My Rating: 7/10
