A nice twist

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2001)

This was a very good movie, with a nice twist on the usual haunted house movie. There are a few real scares, but for the most part it's just an eerie psychological thriller that will keep you on edge. Nicole Kidman gives a flawless performance, as does most of the supporting cast. No in-your-face CGI, no slasher-that-won't die, no half-dressed dumber-than-dirt teens ripe for the gouging, just good old fashioned thrills.
