I've not seen Downton Abbey, so am unaware of how this rather stoic British drama with hints of the supernatural compares to director Julian Fellowes other creation. What I can tell you though, is that it is a professionally mounted film with a cast of well-known British thespians acting in parts that you know were made for them, like pieces in a jigsaw.
The society of the latter days of World War 2 is handsomely recreated, even if it is just relegated to one house. The X-Files style plot elements feel a bit half-baked, and sometimes it feels so dry you'll start craving for a glass of water. These are just minor quibbles, though. It all comes to a head with a series of revelations at the conclusion... Which may even make the weak-willed among you reach for your hankies.
Not this cat, though. I would never fall for something so corny *Frantically hides his copy of Braveheart* 6/10
