not a good horror movie, in fact not a good movie at all

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2002)

I happen to be a big fan of horror and suspense films, and I watched this movie expecting a movie about a haunted house. Unfortunately this movie had nothing to do with hauntings it had to do with a psychotic mother and her two screwed up kids. The only "scary" parts were cheap visual or audio tricks to get you to jump. When a door sudenly slams in your ear you jump involuntarily whether it scared you or not. The movie was way to long. I didn't understand the subplot about the father, nor did I care. And as for the "surprise" ending I figured it out at the begining of the movie. It was way too predictable. If you're planning on watching this movie because you think your going to get a great thriller pick up something by Hitchcock instead. Don't waste your time on this movie.
