Film Review of Cold Creek Manor
Year: 2003 Reviewer: Chris Docker
A mysterious old manor, bought at a knock down price complete with the belongings of the former inhabitants, the acting skills of Sharon Stone and the directorial flair of Mike (Leaving Las Vegas) Figgis - all this should prove a powerful combination. There is no headlong rush into the story - the characters are built up gradually and we are left wondering whether it is going to be a supernatural thriller, whodunit, or serial killer flick till at last half way through. The fact that so many other minor details and lines of script are totally predictable isn't crucial if you don't expect too much in the first place - but ‘slightly above average B movie' is perhaps the nicest accolade this passable but rather lame two hours of film can hope for.
Rating: 6/10
