BBC TV show adaption of a James Herbert story. 1943: a school full of tortured orphans get massacred. Modern times: a family with a Dead Little Brother move into the house. Haunting ensues.

Episode 1 is slow intro, standard Stephen King. But the star is Arya Stark from Game Of Thrones, but she only gets one Bad Ass scene.

Graveyard scene: tombstones of orphans + random villagers + evil headmaster Dumbledore. Dumbledore's ghost attacks the family living in the house. WMG the evil headmaster is still alive.

Episode 2 is even slower than 1. Loren/Arya only has a couple of scenes and does nothing much.

Yes, we already know, haunted orphanage because Dumbledore/Augustus was an evil head-master who sacrificed childern upon the altar of the Greater Good.

Mother recruits a girly flakey spychic to investigate the haunting. Meanwhile, father hires a manly man spychic, Maester Luwin.

WMG Augustus will defeat the girly spychic, but lose to the male spychic.
