      Largely filmed on location in the former Catholic Junior Seminary for Scotland, St Mary's College, Blairs, Aberdeen.
    • Goofs
      When Marion telephones Kieran in Scotland she only enters a 5 digit number. To make a call from the US to the UK it would entail entering country and area codes in addition to the number.

    Slow but I knew the locations
    Slow movie. Gothic thriller that didn't work for me. Ending is interesting but too long getting there. Extra point as I work in Aberdeen and had a great time guessing the locations (got most of them right). Segments stitched together all over the place eg you don't go up Deeside to get to Portsoy from Aberdeen but hey, that's movie magic. "Wet and gloomy" is near the mark though, ha ha.
