Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

A young couple buys an old house overlooking the ocean and intend to turn it into a bed and breakfast. Bui shortly after taking possession of the house, weird things start happening - a worker is electrocuted, a bathtub mysteriously overflows, a guest goes missing, and the couple's dog dies. Are these random occurrences? Or, is there something else going on? Obviously, with a name like The Haunting of Seacliff Inn, it's not hard to figure out this mystery.While there were a few moments I enjoyed, the movie has too many problems to overcome to be called good. A predictable script, a very weak ending, very few scares, and a really lame subplot involving marital issues are just a few of the more obvious issues I had with the movie. While most of these can probably be traced to the movie's "Made for TV" origins, they are problems nonetheless. I saw some potential, but the TV limitations on budget, writing, and content were too much.There were, however, a couple of things I liked about The Haunting of Seacliff Inn that keep it from being a disaster in my eyes. First, the cast is at least adequate. While I've seen her do better work, Ally Sheddy is decent enough in the main role. And second, I'm a sucker for a haunted house movie. They're a real weak spot with me. And while this one isn't great, I've got to give the movie a point for trying.

For a PG rated film made for television this is spooky and very chilling movie. A couple of yuppies want to move away from the rat race and open an inn,bed and breakfast to us English.They find the perfect house but it has a problem,there is an old lady living there.The old lady suddenly dies mysteriously and so they buy the house. At the start of the film when the old lady's radio and TV turn on mysteriously ,you get the feeling that something or someone also occupies the old house. The couple,Ally Sheedy and William R Moses,move in and start renovating the house quite happily and then things start to happen.An electrician,working on the house gets electrocuted,log fires start to go out suddenly and they encounter an evil black dog.Add to this mixture an attractive lodger who vanishes and a wind blowing in the attic during an intimate moment and you have the makings of a classic ghost story. The thing i really liked about this film were the camera angles and long distance shots that give you the feeling that you are seeing things through the eyes of the entity. This film did have a few potholes .The biggest one being that you never find out why the lodger suddenly appeared then vanished and what her purpose for turning up was in the first place. On the spookiness scale I definitely give this film 10/10. Overall I give this film 8/10 due to the fact that I thought the ending was a bit weak. That being said,if you want a film that sends a few chills up your spine and brings you out in goosebumps then take a look at this one.I promise you wont be disappointed.

This film kept me guessing throughout the entire picture, the photography and location was simply beautiful. Ally Sheedy(Susan Enright) "A Good Night to Die"'03 and William R. Moses(Mark Enright)"The Painting" '02 picked out a very old beautiful Victorian Home with a hidden Widows Watch room with all kinds of treasures from the past history of the occupants. Susan and Mark wanted to start a nice BED & BREAKFAST and have a new start in life after Mark had an affair and they were drifting apart as husband and wife. The home is also occupied by spirits who are troubled and wish to do the same to Susan & Mark. Lucinda Weist(Sara Warner)"Net Worth",is really a mistress Ghost from the past and tries to capture Mark's heart and soul with very tempting scenes. Sara finally decides to take a nice swim into the ocean and leaving plenty of questions unanswered. Veteran actress, Louise Fletcher," One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,'75 tires to help Susan cope with all the mysterious things that happen in this mysterious lovely haunted B&B!!!!

Excellent plotline and terrific acting jobs by Ally Sheedy (Susan Enright), and William R. Moses (Mark Enright). Chilling story about a couple who buy an old Victorian mansion and turn it into a bed and breakfast. They leave their jobs in San Fransisco to save their marriage, but upon buying this house, they get more than they bargained for! Someone or something wants them out of the house and big black doggie isn't any help! This film is chilling!
