    The thing that makes this film work so well, is the cleverly placed, typical Horror type scenarios, that never seem to materialise, yet keep you waiting for them to happen, check through the film, they are all there. Hence this becomes an edge of your seat Thriller, with heighte...( read more)ned intensity that keeps your mind challenged.

    Excellent supernatural thriller. Great plot, about a wife who sees supernatural things and believes her neighbour has been murdered.

    This movie was pretty creepy, but really slow moving. Lots of twists throughout.

    This could have been a better put together movie but it was not half bad. I love the freaky ones.

    It's a decent attempt from Michelle Phiefer and Harrison Ford, but it is neither of the two's better performances. It's sort of a kooky story that has a few scares here and there, but it doesn't have a lasting effect and is highly unmemorable.

Critic Reviews


January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Pushes every obvious button and then fumbles around for some of the more recessed ones. full review
