An oddly flippant Brittany Murphy plays a former child star who stirs up old ghosts when she begins renovating the dilapidated Virginia home of her famous, late grandmother. Cue a flimsy and uneven mix of murder mystery and gooey romance, as haunting dreams and increasingly disturbing bursts of vandalism suggest gran's death wasn't suicide, which soon sends the initially standoffish Murphy into the arms of charming neighbour Jason Lewis (Sex and the City). The ensuing hunt for the truth is dull and slow moving; weaknesses exacerbated by ridiculous dialogue and far too much time spent on Lewis and Murphy's sugary love games. But it's the unintentionally comic performances that do most damage, giving away the identity of the killer immediately, despite the heavily signposted red herrings.
Plot Summary
