The only thing that haunts me to this day, is that I chose to watch this

Well, what starts out as a suicide story, which is tragic, and possibly the best part of the movie even though it was a bit sad for me, the rest wasn't all that scary nor interesting, I mean it lacked a lot of frightening scenes and was a bit dated, though the scenes of the dead mother was a little scary, especially the phone call which reminded me of Psycho, but still, the rest of the film was not exciting at all, and the ending itself was empty, it wasn't shocking at all, maybe a bit surprising, but not in a good way, it makes you just pause then say a simple "okaaay", that's it, it's done, zip, nada, nothing, the acting okay, and the lead actress was good. Overall not very good at all.

Goofs
When Sarah seems to catch Miss Thetford off guard, who is in Austin's study making a telephone call, Miss Thetford explains that she was making a long-distance call to her sister who lives in Grand Rapids. She explains this to Sarah as if the two had just met. Later, while Austin's reviewing the charges on their telephone bill, he asks Sarah who lives in Grand Rapids. She acts as though she has no idea. If she had known Miss Thetford her entire life, she must know where her immediate relatives reside.
