This is superb horror film. It doesn't use gruesome, grisly gore to attract attention. It doesn't even use that many startling jump scenes. It uses Hitchcock-style suspense and creepiness. It makes the viewer think "Wow, that's intense," and not "Wow, that's disgusting, but stupid." Nicole Kindman does a fantastic job as the freaked-out widow/mother, and the kids are really good too. And, if you don't like it, wait until the end, because there's a really good twist. Don't worry, no spoilers here! Parents: although this isn't a violent film, it is an immensely creepy one, and it is often scary. Bottom Line: a must-see for horror fans, unless all they want is gore. Then they can rely on Saw or something. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

Saw the movie myself and thought it was a suspenseful movie with a twist. I liked it, but they could have added an extra half hour to it more.

really good creepy paranormal movie

I thought this movie was a very good one. It may be innapropiate for kids at a younger age, due to the re-enactments of suicide and the murder of a womans two children. Otherwise there is only intense situations including scariness, which will have you on the edge of your seat. I do not feel it is something for parents of tweens/teens need to worry about.

An EXTREMELY good scary movie. If your kids want to see a scary movie, show them this one. There is virtually no language and little violence. But in spite of that, this will scare them. Nicole Kidman did fantastic, and this remains one of my favourite scary movies of all time.
