Advantages: A good old fashioned horror you will not forget Disadvantages: not great acting but who cares
...horror,it takes you back to the good old days when you jumped out of your skin a few times.
Its a simple but good story,when a family are brutally murdered and a new family move in years later.Its very creepy and unnerving and the ghosts of the dead family are scary as hell,the acting in the film is not brilliant but you don't really think of that at the time,but i must admit the young boy in the film who sees the dead family haunting the house ... ...good job with him.
There are some great moments in this film when i was on the edge of my seat and could not move for even a hand full of popcorn, so if i were you i would get yourself down to the nearest outlet and buy this movie. ...
