The premise

After the death of her daughter, wealthy housewife Julia Lofting abruptly leaves her husband and moves into an old Victorian home in London to re-start her life. All seems well until she is haunted by the sadness of losing her own child and the ghosts of other children.

Horror Vault's take

A grief-stricken mother flees her marriage and retreats into a brooding Victorian townhouse in London, hoping solitude will help her heal — but the old house has other plans. Strange presences gather around her, blurring the line between genuine haunting and a mind fractured by unbearable loss. Mia Farrow delivers a raw, fragile performance that anchors this slow-burn British chiller in emotional authenticity. The dread here is quiet and cumulative, rooted more in sorrow than in shock.
