PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/04/2007

Family from the big city with a troubled teen daughter decide to make a clean break putting all their troubles behind them starting a new life on a farm. The farm is run down, the house very 'amitiville' style dark and has a history...... yep does sound familiar doesn't it !!! Wasn't the worst 90 minutes ever, it is tense-ish at times, but is definately not 'horror' and, unless you have been hiding in the cellar yourself for the past 30 yaers, you will certainly have the 'I've seen all this before' feeling right from the start. Not entirely shabby, but unless you are a teen looking for any excuse you can to get your partner to cuddle up closer, don't go out of your way to watch this one.

Rated - 3 starsworth watching

fiona from yorkshire , 30/08/2007

A family move to a house in the country looking for a 'new start', only to find weird stuff starts happening.

The teenage girl starts seeing things, but no-one believes her. Is she going mad? or is it something more sinister? some scary parts in places. I guessed what was going on quiet quickly but it is a good story and i would watch again in a few months.

I wont spoil the film by giving it away, if you turn the lights out it might just make you jump!

PIN from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 25/09/2007

I felt stressed and on edge throughout the film. There were plenty of moments that made me jump. Enjoyed the story line. Don't want to spoil the film and give anything away. The little boy was brilliant. Highly recommended. Should not disappoint.

Rated - 4 starsScarey!!

nexus [Highly rated reviewer] , 01/03/2008

This is a scarey film, filled with excellent special effects. The cast gives a solid performance. Especially the fifteen year old lead!!! Greatness in the making!!! If you like a good yarn with scares this ones for you.
