Not Bad!

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2017)

This 2010 horror film stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson and Lin Shaye. This tells of Josh Lambert (Wilson), his wife, Renai (Byrne) and their 3 children who have just moved into their new home. Soon, Renai starts seeing and hearing strange things and one of her sons, Dalton (Ty Simpkins) ends up in a coma. Renai is convinced the house may be haunted, but with the help from Josh's mom, Lorraine (Hershey), she hires her long-time friend, Elise Rainier (Shaye), a gifted psychic who is familiar with the spiritual world, The Further where dark spirits inhabit and Dalton's spirit is held prisoner. With Josh's help, she tries to get Dalton back. Whannell and Sampson play Specs and Tucker, paranormal experts who are Elise's assistants. This isn't bad and the cast is ok. The film does share similarities with "Poltergeist" and "The Grudge," but I still recommend checking it out.
