Another over-hyped horror flick. Toni Collette goes all out as the mother who’s plagued by ghastly, ghostly goings on. She and her family deal with a bunch of mysterious events, but most of it isn’t scary. There’s lots of atmosphere and build up, but the small frights aren’t especially alarming or original. The cast does a good job of responding to the eerie events, which helps make the movie more interesting. Even though it has a creepy ghost story vibe, the build up is slow and the payoff isn’t worth it.
(2.5 / 5)
