The plot is good, but the pace and acting are unfortunately much less than expected. Could have turned out a better movie if the casting was different, however Justin Long was good

It was very well done, mood, camera works, acting and especially the music.However, it was the same old story of spirits wanting for the truth to be told. Why couldn't have this been just about the psychological effects of a traumatized child who was suppressing her memories and the truth. And then later in life as she was stronger and able to face it was remembering what really happened.why bring the supernatural into such a beautifully shot movie with an excellent music score and this scary mood they were able to create even without the introduction of ghosts. This movie was scary enough without the spirits and ghosts they later got involved into the movie. All the supernatural could have been her dreams or subconscious trying to help her remember and face the truth and see who the monster in real life was.Any ways, I enjoyed it and give it 5 out of 10 only for all the hard work in everything they did except for the actual story. Movie makers, sometimes a simple story is a better story. 5 out of 10 for me is a very watchable movie i am stingy at scoring levels.I recommend this movie to drama watchers, art lovers and ghost/spirit story lovers. Horror fans stay away and their wasn't much mystery as I had already guessed what happened half way in the movie.

I've seen worse movies. I actually appreciated how artistically appealing this movie was. People are complaining that this movie wasn't interesting enough, but you have to realize that the top grossing movies in the world are fast and the furious and transformer franchises, so i wish there was some context in their reviews. I personally felt that this movie could have been better, but It definitely didn't deserve a 1 star rating.

Barring that it will be this film. It's that slow. I guess everyone went to the same film school where they teach you the one style for everything. Pioneered by the series 'The Killing' where nothing happens there's no plot nothing ever reveals anything. Even one of the characters in this movie whines 'this is boring'. And boring it is. I think the writer director was aiming for a pilot and couldn't sell it so he made a movie of sorts that captures the utter nothingness. There's no suspense, no tension, no forward arc. And let's face facts; Abbie Cornish is the pot man's Charlise Theron while anything with Justin Long in it is a waste of time. BTW Saab is supposed to be a safe car. They don't rollover 9 times and without the airbags deploying. Just watch you'll see.
