In this spooky suspense film, an American family moves into a creepy manor house located within a wooded area in the English countryside. Before long they start to see some odd things, like mirrors that don't reflect, and the ghost of blindfolded girl. The new tenants learn that 30 years ago, a teenage girl, who bears an uncanny resemblance to their daughter Jan (Lynn-Holly Johnson), disappeared nearby. Soon, the supernatural presence starts contacting both sisters.
After its theatrical release, this film was reworked by director Vincent McEveety and re-released in 1981.
