This film starts off quite well and has moments of real thrills but unfortunately loses its way in the second half. Shame really as Clarkson, Weber and a young Erik Per Sullivan do a great job as the terrorised family. This film could have been a classic thriller but Fessenden is...( read more)

Words can't describe the stupidity of a movie like this. I can barely even bring myself to give it half a star. Ridiculous.
