In another of the After Dark Horrorfest Year 5 entries, a married couple movie out to a country house (owned by the husband's ancestors) to rebuild their lives and marriage after a devastating miscarriage. Little do they know that the house has a 150 year-old cycle where the husband murders the pregnant wife.
Does the Lifetime network for women run supernatuiral thrillers? Because that's where this film belongs: made-for-cable - NOT as part of a series of films that supposedly are too graphic and disturbing for mainstream audiences.
Also, this film more than borrows many of the same "husband descends into madness, wife becomes frightened of him" elements of "The Shining", but let's be real here: Leisha Hailey is no Shelly Duvall and Gale Harold certainly is no Jack Nicholson.
The film, aesthetically speaking, is well shot and has theatrical quality, but in terms of content, is flat and forgettable.
