Interesting for local lore, but not understandable or that thrilling.
I was never able to tell what or who the villain was. And this kind of mystery did not add to the overall effect. There is a lot of footage from inside the spooky old house (cliche), and later the spooky tunnel. The characters were flat, unimpressive, and not likeable.
I did notice all of the local references to Pratt's Woods and downtown St. Charles, but I always felt this film lacked a key element. It seemed to delay on matters of lower consequence. It tried to create a fearsome air, but the sequences were draggy and the ending was surprisingly quick, and without sufficient resolution.
Two stars out of four is all I could give.
