Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

jonnygouda Let me summarize the first part of the movie quickly:Single woman with two kids moves into dilapidated, old mansion she gets cheap because the owner is out of town, inherited it and just wants to sell it quickly.A slightly clairvoyant youngest daughter who can sense and see things that no one else can who everyone thinks is just frightened of a new place.Happy –go-lucky scenes to begin with complete with a renovation scene with happy family rock and dancing ala "Cheaper by the Dozen" (the new one with Steve Martin).A scene of a mysterious hole in the wall that shows a creepy hand after the family stops looking into it.A creepy music box that plays without being wound. Images of creepy, dead people suddenly appearing in the mirror or behind a doorway that the victim doesn't originally see. …except for the slightly clairvoyant youngest daughter who gets terrorized nd still not believed.Unexplained bloody nose. Creaking doors and flickering lights.Sudden scaring of the older daughter and doors that suddenly jam with scary music being played and the older daughter that now BELIEEEEEVES! But is of course written off as simply being stressed out.The slightly clairvoyant little girl who realizes the scary dead girl ghost "wants us to know something…"You can probably guess the ending from there. No need to explain the rest. Kind of sad to see Jerri Ryan – 7 of 9, the 'Borg from Star Trek – reduced to this. I love a classic ghost story, but this is so textbook, cookie cutter it would be difficult to scare a 10 year old with it. Quite frankly, I've seen episodes of "A Haunting" which dramatizes slightly famous real-life haunting s that have made popular culture. Even "Ghost Hunters" is more entertaining.Jerri Ryan seems to have aged more than the 10 years in between Star Trek: Voyager and this movie. :'( And as was said earlier, this does have all the feeling of a great afternoon show for the lady viewers of the Lifetime Network LOL.But, if you decide you really want to watch this, I'd record it (unless you can find it on Hulu or Netflix) because the 2-hour TV movie is only about 80 minutes after you subtract 40 minutes of commercials using fast-forward. -sigh...-

VBarkley Don't waste 2 hours of your life you'll never see again, unless you really like Jeri Ryan, who can act her way out of a haunted house. Actually, all of the acting is pretty decent. A mother (Jeri Ryan) and her two daughters move into a historic home, and experience some strange happenings. After researching the house's history at the local library, the mom discovers a young bride who lived there in the 1950's disappeared. After discovering the woman's remains behind a wooden panel, police say they'll investigate. They believe the woman's spirit is now at peace, but their nightmare has just begun.Now, if you're expecting them to solve the ghost's cold case, you'll be disappointed. There's really no 'why' as to most of the things that happened in this movie. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

loomis78-815-989034 Recently divorced single mom Rachel (Ryan) moves into an under-priced dream house with her two daughters. Her oldest daughter Lizzie (Panabaker) takes the basement room that has a curious wall that they tear down. A ghost that died in the house years ago and is stuck there eventually uses Lizzie as a vessel and swaps souls with her to try and escape the house. The other daughter Molly (List) is part psychic and finally with the help of a spiritual friend convinces her mom on what is going on. This made for lifetime movie starts off promising enough with a touch of atmosphere and a spooky feel. The weight of its TV roots takes hold and everything becomes quite bland. For starters the ghost itself and how Director Christopher Leitch decides to show it to us is very lame and brings no tension to these moments at all. The possession angle is also lifeless and the script lets mother Rachel seem useless until the end in helping her daughter. Pre-teens or fans of horror light may enjoy this due to good production values; those looking for supernatural terror need not apply.

MarkSweepstakes (There are spoilers throughout this review) Well I caught this made-for-TV movie on Lifetime last night. I was flipping channels and happened to catch it right at the beginning, and once I saw Jeri Ryan was the star I decided to watch it just for a while -- but wound up watching the whole thing -- so I suppose that's some kind of positive note. The first 20 minutes are a tad slow and you're not exactly sure what's happening, that is until a scary gnarly hand appears behind an ornate air vent, like whatever it is wants to get out. Yikes! Ah ha! So THAT was the "secret" behind the wall...." and it lured me in. :-) Anyway, it continues from there as your usual haunting / ghost story / scary old house story: Lots of mysterious eerie things happen, ghostly beings are seen in the windows, one person realizes something's wrong but no one believes her until it's too late, the new owners do research at the library of the house's strange history, then the inevitable 'possession' occurs, then a medium tries to 'rid' the house of the spirit, then the final big showdown between ghost and humans, yada yada yada. The same story we've seen dozens of times, only this one is a low-budget made-for-TV movie, so everything seems to be scaled-down a tad and stretched out to make a reasonable running time.The good: Jeri Ryan and the girls, especially Molly, are good and believable actresses. The interior of the house and the basement are scary so there's good set design and cinematography (especially that foggy old neighborhood). And when Jeri's brother finally discovers "the secret behind the walls", it's actually pretty scary.The bad: First of all, there is no way -- no matter how deeply discounted a house is -- that a single mom, having been employed for just 1 day with what looks like an hourly job, and after being out of the workplace for 5 years, will qualify to buy a house of that size in that neighborhood. And after all the scary lead-up incidents, it does go kind of downhill once 'the possession' starts, and by that I mean it's not as scary and loses a little credibility. When Lizzie has her accident on the stairs and Jeri Ryan does CPR for some reason, my first concern was that Lizzie risked being paralyzed, not just knocked out. There's also a scene where Jeri finally hears the music box and it wakes her up -- but WHO was that person in the bed next to her???? And toward the end, Jeri confronts and gets mad at the real estate lady (twice), as though she were a villain and the cause of all Jeri's problems. I realize real estate people will do and say ANYTHING to sell a house and I'm sure that's what the writers intended, but I didn't think she did anything wrong - like she said, she was simply hired by the out-of-state new owners to sell the house and she didn't know it was haunted.5 out of 10.
