You'll live through the movie...but that's the problem!

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 1999)

This movie did not scare me as much as I think it had the potential to. I found it rather slow-going and noticed myself looking at my watch after the first hour, wondering when the fun stuff would begin. Make no mistake, this movie is more story oriented, and it drags out. That's not to say the movie is lousy. The acting was decent, the timing right. The best thing going for this movie, however, is the theme. If you're into ghost stories and weirdo/psycho kids, then here's an entertaining couple of hours for you. If you're anything like me, though, you'll wonder why the director didn't make the movie a bit more dark and startling.
