Relies heavily on scary noises and weird sound editing

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2012)

Typical haunted something or other movie: strange kid, only the mother/wife knows about it, dad/husband is of course clueless, a teacher and staying away from home as much as possible (affair with student? Who knows?), strange vaguely menacing mother in law. Also young family living in a huge house beyond any practical ability to own it. The irritating thing though is the sound. There's a crying baby practically nonstop through the first half hour and anything scary that happens is so loud and so oddly edited that it's boring. I think it's going more for irritating than scary. About halfway through the sort of give up and throw a bunch of new characters into the mix for no clear reason at all.
