Mike Figgis directs this tense thriller in which husband and wife, Cooper (Dennis Quaid) and Leah (Sharon Stone), decide to opt for a quiet life in the countryside to bring up their children and get away from the frantic pace of New York. The family moves into a sprawling ramshackle house which has been repossessed and needs a lot of renovation work. They soon turn the house into their own ideal family home but when the previous owner, Dale Massie (Stephen Dorff), turns up on their doorstep after serving time in prison, he makes it clear that he still considers the house his. What the family also discover is that there is a sinister history to the house and that newcomers to Cold Creek are not as welcome as at first appeared. (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)

The vampires’ soon-to-be deceased daughter accuses her father of running over a horse, whose body is floating in a pool with no way out. And let me point out that there was no Dorset horse fetishists' fair that day! This is how it goes in this run-of-the-mill thriller with an inflated runtime. Mike Figgis, realizing he has a failed script, wraps up the fiasco in the last fifteen minutes with unexpected thunderstorms, a sheep-killing instrument, and a stained-glass window for a nice flight through. To be honest, I was quite surprised that the villain bit the dust on the first try. The only positive is that Quaid could learn something from Dorff, as he took on his role in the 2019 film The Intruder.
