Profile of Cold Creek Manor

The mood of Cold Creek Manor is scary, suspenseful, and tense. The plot centers around a family in crisis, mind games, and a psychopath. It is a thriller, drama, and horror movie. In approach, Cold Creek Manor is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in the countryside. The setting is New York. Cold Creek Manor happens in contemporary times. Note that it includes profanity and violent content.

Summary of Cold Creek Manor

After a succession of films boldly exploring the possibilities of digital video (TIMECODE, HOTEL), Mike Figgis returns to more traditional narrative terrain with this atmospheric thriller. Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone star as Cooper and Leah Tilson, a New York City couple who decide to move to the country in order to provide their children with a safer life (Kristen Stewart and Ryan Wilson). But they get more than they bargained for when they purchase Cold Creek Manor, a gigantic, crumbling house that has a murky, dangerous past. That past shows up at their front door one day in the form of Dale Massie (Stephen Dorff), an ex-convict who lost the house while incarcerated. At first, Dale's presence is a comfort to the Tilsons, but Cooper begins to sense that something is amiss after studying home videos and photographs that were left behind. Sure enough, his attempts to keep Dale off his property only anger the bitter psychopath, triggering a relentless assault that endangers the lives of the entire Tilson family. Figgis' taut thriller features solid lead performances by Quaid and Stone, as well as standout supporting turns from Dorff, Juliette Lewis, and Christopher Plummer.

Critics Reviews

Los Angeles Times
A lightweight popcorn movie, hardly the scariest of the year but with enough jolts to be satisfying. Writer Richard Jefferies' solid script emphasizes character and psychology over plot and provides Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone with engaging,...
Salon.com
Feels very nicely made, at least until it falls apart: By its midpoint, you start to recognize that it has acute creepy-thrilleritis, which means that it promises us some things at the beginning that it has no intention of actually following up on.

Users Reviews

This is one of the worst movies of all time. You should rent it though, it is worth seeing just to see how ridiculous it is.
