***1/2 out of 4.

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2001)

Nicole Kidman turns in an excellent performance in this chilling, but beautifully done ghost story about a woman and her two children who are haunted by a family of ghost. Filled with rich detail, and relaying upon atmosphere and imagination to scare the viewer instead of over the top special effects, this film manages to keep the viewer glued to the edge of their seats from start to finish. Easily the best film to surface so far this year. And remember don't give away the ending.
