Viewing Notes

Noirvember continues- nice to see a story not set in a big city for a change; the plantation is good for the spooky atmosphere. Only wish they had played that up more with the hauntings and whatnot.

Elisha Cook Jr is always fun to have around. Even if this is rather basic in premise with an easy ending.
