studioAT I like Neve Campbell. She may have disowned it but I loved her in 'Three to Tango' and thought she was great in 'Party of Five'. It was therefore intriguing to see her in this adaptation of the Oscar Wilde short story.Unfortunately despite good performances from Campbell and Patrick Stewart this film looks cheaply put together and has not aged well. It has a grainy quality that is not great.The plotting is slow, and the other performances a bit wooden.It's a shame because this had the potential to be so much better.

insomniac_rod Truly entertaining film for all the family. Based on the great Oscar Wilde's stories.A typical family composed of two young brat boys, a hot teen girl, and father and mother move to a castle because in the words of the father, it's cheap to live there.Neve Campbell's character is not very happy with the decision to move there because she's dealing with the pains of growing up. Suddenly after they install themselves in the castle's bedrooms, Neve starts to feel a strange vibe and even cannot explain some paranormal events.That's when she becomes friends with the Canterville Ghost played brilliantly by Patrick Stewart who is a very good actor.The chemistry between Campbell and Stewart is intense and enjoyable. It's more of a tender relationship.The movie has the typical t.v. vibe for these kind of movies. The direction is very basic and so are the effects.The art direction is truly good and that's what makes difference.Watch it only if you want to teach your kids or young relatives about Wilde's work.

Jennhli Patrick Stewart gives another wonderful performance as the Ghost, Sir Simon De Canterville. He goes head to head with a 20th century American family. Not the biggest believers in ghosts. I an not a big fan of Neve Canpbell, but her scenes with Stewart show off her best. This roll is a natural for Stewart as the Shakespeare quoting ghost sentenced to haunt the castle. I have seen several versions of this movie and this is one of the best. The special effects, while good, do not overwhelm the story. The scenery and location of the scene, especially the ruined garden and the library set of the acting perfectly. A must see is you are a fan of both Patrick Sytewart or Neve Campbell.

Peter Gruendler as yet. She is congenially to Patrick Steward in this made-for-TV movie, which might have had a good chance on the big screen too.As in so many hollywood movies the film would have been better off without the last sequence.
