Morgan (Jessica Cameron) and Cassie (Heather Dorff) are travelling
Europe, for the fun of it, and eventually their trip leads them to
Darkmoor Manor, supposedly England's most haunted house, so haunted in
fact that they aren't even allowed in on the official tour - major
disappointment there. But then their tour guide Tom (Tom Gordon) offers to
give them a private tour - and while neither is too much into this as
such, Cassie really has the hots for Tom - so the girls end up with Tom in
a haunted house in the dark of the night - but of course, there's really
something/someone in the house, and it certainly doesn't like intruders
... In essence, The Tour is a horror short that gets it
right: Its story might be skeletal (but hey, it IS a short), but it
features interesting characters played by a great trio of leads, its
direction focuses on atmosphere rather than sensationalism, and even
though its story is very basic, it does feature its twists and turns and a
really fun punchline. Defintiely one to look out for!
