The Wyvern Mystery
Some family secrets can kill.
There is something alive within the gloomy walls of Carwell Grange and it is not quite human. Based on the novel by J.S. le Fanu, this spine-chilling, Victorian-era thriller, starring Naomi Watts and Sir Derek Jacobi pits bone-chilling fear against hot-blooded passion!
As an orphaned child, Alice Maybell was taken in by Squire Fairfield. Now that she is a beautiful young woman, the Squire's intentions have turned sinister. To escape him, she feels with his son, Charles to remote Carwell Grange. Too late, Alice discovers a horrifying evil in the Fairfield home - one about to unleash its black fury on her!

Boring and quite ridiculous. A silly story poorly told. And I just will not believe Jacobi as a seducer of young women. The sets and costumes were great, as BBC has such high standards, but this is certainly one mini series they could have done without. Derivative of many other gothic tales, especially Jane Eyre, with the madwoman providing the "mystery" and horror, but in the end we don't find out what happened to her. Or maybe we do and I was just too bored to pay attention. Badly directed and edited and written. Don't bother with this one.
