Silly segments completely ruin the movie

Rating: 3/10 (4 September 2005)

How can a ghost throw an object at a window? How can the grandmother, who is a ghost, steal a physical object? They might as well have ended the movie with the same absurd outlandishness as the utterly silly movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze, and just have Bruce Willis hug and kiss his wife goodbye at the end. They already ruined it as a serious, believable horror movie, so why not finish it off in the same ridiculous manner. I mean if Patrick Swayze as a ghost can beat up a fellow with a physical body, and Bruce Willis as a ghost can pick up and throw corporeal objects, why not go all out and just give the movie an ending with the same silly elements they already added in to the movie. At least they would win over people like my elderly mother who would rent it for the silly, "feel good" 100% Hollywood ending. As it stands now, mature Horror fans rate this movie closer to "Ghost" due to the superfluous inane segments, far away from something more sophisticated like "Rosemary's Baby", which treats its subject matter with more seriousness, depth, and overall respect.
