A family moves from New York into an old mansion in the countryside, still filled with the previous owner's things. As they begin to make it their own, a series of events begin to occur that makes them believe that the former inhabitants are not yet gone.
Cold Creek Manor is a fairly generic haunted-house-meets-home-invasion thriller that squanders a promising premise. The plot follows a well-worn template without meaningful twists, the acting from a capable cast (Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone) feels phoned-in, the cinematography is competent but unremarkable, and the film offers little that distinguishes it from dozens of similar rural-menace thrillers of the era. The ending resolves predictably without surprise or impact. A thoroughly average entry in the genre.
