  Avoid this if you have a brain.
  
  A really poor film. A series of so-so run of the mill horror scenes patched together with minimal thought toward plot or character development.

  Boring, boring
  
  Predictable, boring, unconvincing, badly acted/scripted tosh! 90 mins of my life I'll never get back. Why do they bother making ghost-stories-by-numbers?

  Okay, except for all the flashes and fast cut editing

  The Haunting in Connecticut
  
  Brilliant, very scary, made me literally jump 4-5 times. After the shock it has a really good story line and once you understand it, its not scary at all.
