Synopsis: Michael Rogers is a chauffeur with little money, but big dreams. Foremost of these is building his dream house on the perfect piece of land. Michael gets his chance when his new girlfriend, Ellie, turns out to be an extremely wealthy heiress. The two are wed and are soon living in a modern home on Gipsy's Acre. Their idyllic life shatters around them with a series of bizarre events and threats. Micheal comes under the disapproving eye of both Ellie's greedy family and her interfering best-friend Greta. On top of that, local legend says their property is cursed. What danger lurks for the young newlyweds, and is it a human plot or something supernatural?

- Oh ... cr ...

What the hell were you doing,

God-dammit?!

I said I was sorry, sir.

You gonna stick around afterwards and err,

take me where I said, huh?

I don't think so, sir.

Why not?

Well I've looked up my duties

very carefully, and ... 'pimping' is not included.

Jason!

You wait! ...You just wait!

Yes, sir.

Yeah, baby.

I didn't have to wait long ...

My firm said I seemed to have forgotten

that the customer is always right.

Ten days later ...

I was back home again.

Oh, it's you. What have you come for?

Do I have to have a reason to visit my old Mum?

Ooh, got a cuppa tea, love?

Got another job yet?

Yes.

Filling station. Part time.

You'll go far, won't you.

I'm alright ... I got plans.

Plans! What plans?

If the wish can be willed,

then perhaps the means will follow.

Something's happened ...

What do ya mean?

You're excited.

Who's got hold of you, Mickey?

Got hold of me?

Oh, forget the tea, Mum!

The next day, I went down

to Gypsy's Acre again.

With my camera.

That was the first time I saw Ellie.

Very first time.

Oh!

Don't mind me!

Oh, I didn't see you.

I saw you. You got in my picture.

I didn't spoil it for you, did I?

You made it!

You ... you must think I'm

raving mad or something?!

I mean I don't usually

dance all by myself.

I got a little carried-away I guess.

Such a beautiful spot.

Like nowhere else.

- Do you live around here?

- No. Wish I did.

- American, aren't you?

- How d'ya guess?

Well what made you come up here?

You can't see it from the road.

I drove down to visit an

antique shop in Market Chadwell.

Oh yes, I know it.

And I'd heard it was beautiful

up here, so I came.

I'm glad I did.

I mean ... it really is very beautiful.

You didn't really take

any of me, did you?

Ah, that'd be telling.

Oh God, my hair!

No, I was ... I was just shooting a few

angles to send to an architect friend.

Oh, are you gonna build here?

One day ...

maybe.

I'm only a rental car driver.

Bit more to your right.

And there's not much bread in that.

Woah!

Perfect!

Why do you want me in it anyway?

Give Santonix some idea of the scale.

- Oh ... 'The' Santonix?

- Yes.

- He's very famous.

- Oh, he's a genius.

But isn't he ... well, isn't he

a little expensive?

It's just an idle dream.

Don't laugh, I'm the idle dreamer.

Why should I?

You know I like awake sometimes

thinking exactly what I'd do.

The house would ... rise up just

about where you are now ...

looking, clear-down to the sea.

And a drive, curving in like this

from the road ...

all the way to the house.

Clear ... clear all this lot away ...

over there, plant masses and masses

of Rhododendrons and azaleas.

Sidney Gilliat

Sidney Gilliat (15 February 1908 – 31 May 1994) was an English film director, producer and writer. He was the son of George Gilliat, editor of the Evening Standard, born in the district of Edgeley in Stockport, Cheshire. In the 1930s he worked as a scriptwriter, most notably with Frank Launder on The Lady Vanishes (1938) for Alfred Hitchcock, and its sequel Night Train to Munich (1940), directed by Carol Reed. He and Launder made their directorial debut co-directing the home front drama Millions Like Us (1943). From 1945 he also worked as a producer, starting with The Rake's Progress, which he also wrote and directed. He and Launder made over 40 films together, founding their own production company Individual Pictures. While Launder concentrated on directing their comedies, most famously the four St Trinian's School films, Gilliat showed a preference for comedy-thrillers and dramas, including Green for Danger (1946), London Belongs to Me (1948) and State Secret (1950). He wrote the libretto for Malcolm Williamson's opera Our Man in Havana, based on the novel by Graham Greene. He had also worked on the film. more…
