Short description

Cold Creek Manor follows Cooper and Leah Tilson, a couple who leave New York City behind and move with their children into a run-down country estate known as Cold Creek Manor, which they buy at a foreclosure sale. Planning to restore the large property, the family settles in among the belongings the previous owners left behind. Their new life is unsettled by Dale Massie, the former owner, who has recently been released from prison and offers to help with the renovations. His interest in the house soon appears to run deeper than simple attachment, drawing the Tilsons into the house's troubled past.

Mike Figgis directed the film, working from a screenplay by Richard Jefferies, with Figgis and Annie Stewart producing. It followed several earlier Figgis features, among them Leaving Las Vegas (1995) and Timecode (2000), and came between his 2000 film and Megadoc (2025). Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone play Cooper and Leah, with Stephen Dorff as Dale Massie. Juliette Lewis, Kristen Stewart and Christopher Plummer also appear. The film runs 118 minutes.

Cold Creek Manor was released in September 2003. Against a budget of 45 million US dollars, it took in about 29 million worldwide. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.1 out of 10 from roughly 26,000 votes, and on TMDB it has 5.4 out of 10 from 556 votes. A film critics' rating stands at 4.1 out of 10 based on 109 reviews, below both audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Filming of the picture began on August 6, 2002, in Toronto, and ended in early November 2002.
  • Christopher Plummer (1929-2021) spent only two days on the set – one day filming scenes with Dennis Quaid, and the second with Stephen Dorff.
  • Initially, the film was titled "Cold Creek Manor." Then it was decided to rename it "The Devil's Throat." And only after the final editing was completed was it decided to revert to the original title.
