Primarily it&#039;s aimed at children but people of any age can enjoy it. Mr Blunden (who we later learn is a ghost) persuades a mother to become the housekeeper of an old property and she, her son and her daughter move to a village in the countryside so they look after the house. While there, 2 ghosts of children visit the son and daughter to ask them to go back in time to save them from a fire which killed them. The film is a fantasy piece which plays out like a fairy story. The score of the film was good and at times reminded be a bit of a tune from Mary Poppins. The film didn&#039;t quite have the magic and intrigue of the original but the special effects and the great performances from the cast make up for any shortcomings the film had.</blockquote>
