waitsalive Fairly well made TV movie with every cliché from every haunted house movie imaginable. Didn't really feel the chemistry between the actors as the script nor scenes pushed for it, that said they did a reasonable job to at least pass the illusion of being a modern American family. One other small irk was when the family were to break down said wall from the title, a horrendous album song called breaking down the walls was played as I thought we were going to be treated to some eighties style a 'la revenge of the nerds type montage. Apart from that scene which completely felt out of sync with the rest of the movie, the rest of the film brought you along with it and to be fair,wasn't the worst 86 minutes to fill your time with, but just don't expect anything new here. Average in every way possible..

loomis78-815-989034 Recently divorced single mom Rachel (Ryan) moves into an under-priced dream house with her two daughters. Her oldest daughter Lizzie (Panabaker) takes the basement room that has a curious wall that they tear down. A ghost that died in the house years ago and is stuck there eventually uses Lizzie as a vessel and swaps souls with her to try and escape the house. The other daughter Molly (List) is part psychic and finally with the help of a spiritual friend convinces her mom on what is going on. This made for lifetime movie starts off promising enough with a touch of atmosphere and a spooky feel. The weight of its TV roots takes hold and everything becomes quite bland. For starters the ghost itself and how Director Christopher Leitch decides to show it to us is very lame and brings no tension to these moments at all. The possession angle is also lifeless and the script lets mother Rachel seem useless until the end in helping her daughter. Pre-teens or fans of horror light may enjoy this due to good production values; those looking for supernatural terror need not apply.

edukrull I don't think you need a lot of money to make a good movie. This one is not scary at all (except for a person who has never watched a movie before) The story is the very old one that something in the past happened in the house and the ghost of the person who was murdered there is trapped. Personally i prefer ghosts movies without special effects,its more believable when its a real person and make up. But this one doesn't make a single effort to make anything different than doors that closes by themselves, music box that starts to play and girl with makeup that looks at you when you are not paying attention. There are some funny scenes not to say awkward, like when her daughter falls from the stairs and she try some(terrible) CPR. Well its a B (or c or d or e) Movie, and everyone tries to show that it is it

Neil Doyle A family moves into a haunted house. That much is certain from the very start when JERI RYAN foolishly purchases a house with strange noises coming from the basement. Ryan doesn't seem to have time to think clearly throughout the film. She's forever tossing back her unruly locks of hair and giving such an animated performance (with facial gestures on the move) that it's sometimes hard to just sit and follow the plot.Clearly, the writers were intent on disguising the horror elements of the story in favor of setting up a mother/daughters relationship as the focal point. Horror is a subtext to all the talky moments between the mother and daughters which, at times, borders on too much sentimentality--as though the film itself has been targeted toward female viewers. The most natural performance in the film is given by the youngest daughter, PEYTON LIST. As the oldest daughter, Lizzie, KAY PENNABAKER does a good job of portraying the older sister who eventually is inhabited by an evil spirit. But why she never tells her mother about the music box that plays by itself in her closet or the droplet of blood that comes from the ceiling when she peers at an old photo, is beyond me. We're told over and over again (as if the point needs to be made) that children seldom tell their mothers everything. And even after she experiences these weird happenings, she mocks her little sister for seeing things that aren't there. Her motives are never clear.Anyway, the story is generally well acted, the photography is fine, the music is suitably quaint before the thundering chords are used for shock effect, and it does have some effective chills. But the story is padded out to fit the two-hour time and there are scenes that drag interminably before we get back to the heart of the hauntings.Summing up: Easy to see why this is a made-for-TV movie.
