Very good movie on several levels

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2006)

This movie is somewhat different from most horror movies. It doesn't follow the typical patterns, other than the main character (the mother, Radha Mitchell) being a complete moron. Like most main characters in horror movies, the decision making & danger recognition parts of her brain must have been surgically removed. (I don't think this is a spoiler, but just in case, I checked the box) Just to give an example: If your daughter was having nightmares about a town that she could never have possibly been to, & then you find out the town is real, & it's know to be a ghost town where all the inhabitants died in a fire! & is thought to be one of the most haunted towns in America; WOULD YOU TAKE HER THERE?!?!?!?! But other than that... This movie is well thought out. It leaves a lot open to interpretation, which in my opinion is always a good thing. If you enjoy movies that will have you discussing the possibilities afterwards, check this one out!
