Well,im not a notorious horror lover,most of all becaquse the plots are all the same. this film had also a familiar plot with an entity,a young scared girl,and two not so understanding parents.what i lioked from the director,was the sneaky way horrore came to surface,in fact i had to rewind the dvd several times to persept the thing.some jolts went trough my body through the film . its a film that ends with a ''figure out yourself''ending.nice filming and editing,enticing music,.well done acting and use of effects.i have seen scarier and better horror movies like ''the gift ''and ''the thing'',but it works.a 9 from me.

Phil Claydon directs this creepy thriller about making a fresh start and getting life back on track. John Alexander (Michael Vartan) is a widower that remarries and moves his daughter and new wife to a nice house in a peaceful suburban neighborhood. His wife and daughter are still going through the "getting to know you" period. A slow getting primed movie that has its rewards. Weird sounds and even stories of missing previous owners gets daughter Hannah (Erin Moriarty) wanting to search for answers. Even the word "murder" comes up. Strange things are beginning to happen and it is not imagined. My only problem was so many scenes shot in the dark. Oh, that is for suspense. A few false scares and mild surprises. Yes, you can be creeped out a bit.Also featured are: Nadine Velazquez, Dorian Kingi, Tom Wright, Ronnie Gene Blevins and JoBeth Williams.

This movie is sooooooooo boring. Family moves into a house where the previous family died, hears noises in the wall, the cat is freaked by the noises in the wall, things are moved... hmmmm what could it be? Pretty freakin obvious. The most ominous thing that happens after the first 30 minutes is a picture falling off the wall... ooooh so scary. It takes another 30 minutes -- a full hour into the film before you see anything mildly interesting. The concept is just so overdone and you will see it coming a mile away. Waiting for the family to figure it out is so incredibly dull. It doesn't even get interesting until the last 15 minutes and the ending is a real eye-roller since it's pretty obvious what's got to happen to the family. Yaaawwwn. If you want to save some time, watch this movie on fast forward until the last 15 minutes. Oh trust me, you won't need the dialogue to figure this one out pretty quick on fast forward and you will save yourself a lot of time.

The amazing thing is that so many Americans are packing heat, so in this movie all they can muster up is an old baseball ball, good for a laugh. In modern houses there is no space between the walls this is not the White House, or other very old buildings with secret passages. I love the old adage don't open the don't open the door, this movie was just too predictable.
