The truly scary thing about this movie was that it actually happened.Other then that, it really wasn't scary at all.Basically just a boring movie with a ending that'll make you go What the .......! |

Both of these actors played their part well and if it weren't for such a terrible story and generic scare tactics, they may have been able to save the movie.

The story is filled with the garbled and incoherent dreams of seemingly possessed Betsy Bell, played by Rachel Hurd-Wood. In a movie built around a ghost story it was disappointing to see cheap scare tactics instead of making the movie all around eerie. I am not sure wh... |
