This remake up of Daphne DuMaurier’s classic tale isn't up to the level of Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 classic, but it's a perfectly good version of the spooky tale of psychological haunting. Swept off her feet by the dashing and rather older Maxim DeWinter (Charles Dance), the new Mrs. DeWinter (Emilia Fox) wonders if she’ll ever measure up to his expectations. Unsure of Maxim's love, the mousey young bride becomes the object of gossipy speculation by society dowagers like Mrs. Van Hopper (Faye Dunaway). Far more insidious tongue-wagging awaits at Maxim's ancestral home, Manderley. Everywhere she turns, the second Mrs. DeWinter sees reminders of Maxim's bewitching first...
