The Manor

The Manor was...a good try....sorta. There is really nothing more that can be said about it as far as merit goes. I say that because it has what is needed for it to be a thriller, **IF** that thriller's suspense rating were fixed at a 2 instead of being able to utilize the full range 10 scale available. The movie had all the right ques for suspense, it just didn't have that "edge of the seat" guesswork, that "grip your husband's bicep" fear factor, nor the..._je ne sais quoi_ needed to make this movie engaging. The writers did a good job of showing how the MC's age and the problems she expresses to her family with what she is observing at the home, could be easily explained away as her having difficulty in adjusting; and how easily it is for the faculty to explain away the MC's fears
