A mixture of ghost story and awful girls mistreating a weak sensitive one. It works in the main, at least the ghost part - isolated, old wooden house, strange noises and the knowledge that there's been a death here before. Kirsty's aunt is away from the house for the weekend and this seems like a good opportunity to have a wild party. Kirsty and Genevieve are attractive and very bitchy and somehow, unbelievably, Patricia Miggs has been invited along. In place of the party there is a seance, then spooky happenings and some nastiness from the evil duo, before Patricia asserts herself. The ending undercuts all the ghosty bits in a neat twist.
