Well told horror story with Scott playing the role of a widower music teacher. After the death of his wife, he moves to Seattle in hopes of starting a new life in a grand old mansion. Unfortunately, his new home turns out to be haunted by the troublesome ghost of a murdered child bent on revenge after 70 years of torment. (official distributor synopsis)

Very good ghost horror. Perfect direction, very good actors.

If it hadn't got so bogged down in the second half explaining to the viewer the facts that are already clear to the characters, I wouldn't have hesitated to give it a full rating.
