Premise

Michael Lewis (Andrew McCarthy) is an American architect who is sent to Britain to refurbish an old London hotel, where he soon begins to have strange visions and frightening dreams.

Cast

Production

The film was written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson as a pilot for an unsold weekly TV series. It was almost entirely filmed in London.

Reception

Kevin Lyons from the website "The EOFFTV Review" gave the film a mixed review writing: "It’s not a great film by any stretch of the imagination but it’s a more restrained and thoughtful work than the brain-dead action films that Anderson was about to make his own". Lyons concluded: "It’s not the greatest ghost story ever made but it had potential and the final images suggest that the subsequent series was about to take off in more interesting directions.[1]
