This film feels incredibly familiar, almost like a copy of other stories – yet surprisingly, I found myself liking it. It’s a brief and uncomplicated story centered on the character Evie, portrayed by Nathalie Emmanuel. She takes one of those DNA tests online, and quickly finds herself at an elegant meal with Oliver, played by Hugh Skinner—a well-bred British man who insists she's his long-lost relative. Within moments, she’s invited to a wedding in Yorkshire, which she naturally agrees to attend. Once there, she meets the grumpy butler Fields (Sean Pertwee) and Walt, the attractive lord of the manor (Thomas Doherty). She develops an immediate attraction, and they begin a relationship within twenty-four hours. However, she soon realizes that things at Carfax Manor aren’t as straightforward as they appear—particularly because there's no sign of a bride or groom, and the waitresses hired for the wedding seem to vanish without explanation. What’s happening…? It’s fairly obvious from early on who the villain is, and that Viktoria (played by Stephanie Corneliussen, reminiscent of Angelina Jolie) and her friend Lucy (Alana Boden) are involved in a clever plot as well. The production clearly had budgetary constraints, but the direction is serviceable enough. The storyline itself is rather weak, and most of the acting feels like what you’d see at a drama school performance, culminating in an ending that disappoints considerably. Despite watching it with some anxiety in a mostly deserted movie theater, I left feeling that the approximately 100-odd minutes passed pleasantly enough. It isn't brilliant, certainly—but it's not terrible either.
