May 9, 2009Not very scary but entertaining enough that I watch it each time it comes on. Does have a creep factor to it.

April 23, 2009Not a bad film as far as teen type horrors go, it certainly keeps the attention throughout with a couple of jumpy moments and some interesting moments graphically with the ghosts.

October 31, 2008I would have given it two stars, but I feel the need to penalize Dylan McDermott, Penelope Ann Miller and John Corbett for reading this script and actually thinking being in this turd of a film was a good idea. This movie was loaded with cliches and bad lines, and didn't have th... ...( read more )

July 21, 2008A good old fashioned ghost story following in the footsteps of The Grudge and The Ring, with fair effects and a pretty good atmosphere. While there is very little gore, the spooks are aplenty, as can only be expected of the directors of The Eye. The story does get a little pred... ...( read more )

The most frightening aspect of the film is that it will soon be haunting the bargain bins of shoddy video stores. full review

The grown-ups fare worse: They speak . . . very . . . slowly . . . as if to pad the running time out. This may in fact be the most ridiculous performance John Corbett has ever given. full review

April 27, 2009It was a good movie, but i felt it ended a little too quickly.. And there are some parts on the box, that dont come out on the movie [like it shows that it does].. oh well, all in all, i liked it.. it was okay.

March 6, 2008The plot given by Flixster for this film is completely inaccurate. There were no odd changes in the dad besides the fact that he wanted to make the farm work.
The plot is that a family move to a run down farm (that is correct) where the daughter is miserable because of some mystery bad trouble she got into back at her old home town (you find out what it was ages later in the film) and the little boy who doesn't seem to talk seems to be able to see things. The daughter also starts to see these but no one believes her and the story goes from there!
There were some gaps in the story line as the poster below mentioned. Such as why were they attacking her and not the boy, what did they want ...etc but I thought it was still worth the £6 I paid for it! lol -
November 18, 2007Okay, if the ghosts were trying to warn the family of the danger they were in, why did they beat the crap out of the teenage girl? And why would they try to warn the little kid who can't even speak?
And what was the deal with the creepy lawyer who kept showing up with papers saying that someone else wanted to buy the house? Was that supposed to be significant of something? Seemed to me that was a subplot that must have been abandoned during filming. Junk. -
