The Keeping Hours

The film begins with the preparations for a wedding. Very soon however, we learn that things are not as they seem.

The couple-Mark and Elizabeth, have lost their son, Jacob, in a car accident. The grief from the loss of their son has torn them apart, and they are now living separate lives.

Yet, Jacob remains an ever present part of their lives. Mark discovers that Jacob's ghost resides in the house they once lived in as a family.

Mark confides in Elizabeth that Jacob's spirit is still in their former family home; this news is a nuisance to her, as she is now remarried with children. Yet, the possibility of reconnecting with her son weighs on her, and she returns to their former home to see for herself.

The title of the film comes from the time Mark and Elizabeth stay in the home, babysitting the spirit of their son, keeping him close.

Part ghost story, part love story, partly a story of loss, partly a story of reconciliation, "The Keeping Hours." Now streaming on Netflix, available on Blu Ray and DVD, Vudu, Google Play, Amazon Prime, YouTube. Two stars.
