Film, actors and year?

I saw a film, perhaps 5 years ago. It was about an old lady perhaps a witch or something, that lived near a precipice of a cliff at the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. It had to do with a kid going in the house, where there were candles everywhere: the floor the bed, the walls the tables. He sees the candles and I think the body was on the bed, and he ran out of the house when some of the candles were falling. The house (shack, really) starts to burn and he runs out of the house. He nearly falls of the cliff into the water but is saved.

I think the film started with the kid being bullied and locked inside of the schoolhouse's coatroom overnight and him looking at the cemetery, and a ghost of a girl came into the coatroom with him. If I am not mistaken, it was a British film from the late 80s or early 90s.
