This is a suspense thriller directed by Mike Figgis ( Leaving Las Vegas) and stars Sharon Stone and Dennis Quaid as a NYC couple who want to escape the rigors of big city life. They decide to go rural and purchase a rundown old mansion called Cole Creek Manor. Now everything should be fine, right ? Wrong. Seems the old homestead harbors some deep dark grisly secrets. And when the nasty former owner ( Stephen Dorff) shows up, some very bad things begin to happen, leaving our NYC couple fighting for their lives.
This plot has been done before, but Figgis, Quaid, Stone and especially Dorff raise this a cut above the others. It's a little slow moving at times and quite predictable, but I still found it an enjoyable watch. For me though, it is a rental. I wouldn't find this as interesting the second time around. Oh, I neglected to mention Juilette Lewis plays Dorff's girlfriend, and though it is a small role, she really nails it.
