Cold Creek Manor

With their marriage on the verge of collapsing, and their son almost being killed by impatient motorists, New York career-focussed parents the Plummers sell up and take their two children to find a simpler life.

They purchase a recently repossessed mansion in small town America, without bothering to find out it’s history. It’s a bit of a shambles, but the locals seem eager to help them.

Whilst the story line is pretty much Hollywood style check-your-brains-at-the-door fare, if you can ignore the stupid mistakes the Plummers seem to make at every turn, Cold Creek Manor makes for a very entertaining, edge of your seats ride. It has the formula down pat, with scares, moments of tension, and the occasional bit of humour.
