I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Blistering performances.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a horror movie focusing on Lizzy and Molly. There is ghost girl haunting the house who once lived their until she was murdered. It is the perfect way to show a ghost's feelings and suffering for years trapped with no way out. This shows every house has a special history. You just look close enough to see the past. The girls feeling are scary has you see what you don't want to see but wish she really there. I see this movie as a successful was to show a ghost's past and her pain and loss. This movie has shown the most horrifying experience on what a ghost can do this girl(Lizzy). And Molly can sense the truth about the ghost in the house.This mystery lies within the house of what happened to the girl before she became a ghost and what is she capable of.

Taking a new job in the city, a newly divorced woman and her two teenage daughters move into a grand house and come to discover someone else is living there that has dangerous plans for the family and must save them before it go through.As this was a typical Lifetime style haunted house film, there's some really enjoyable moments here. What really works here is the fact that this one really makes the ghostly action here that really has an impressive air here. The start here, with the ghost hands appearing from the broken wall after initially finding that secret room, is a good start and as it gets deeper here these get even better with the flicking lights and ballerina box playing constantly whenever someone enters the room start this off quite nicely. Along with the rather creepy way the ghost keeps appearing in short visual cuts of the daughter seeing her around the house and up in the attic, there's a really solid air here that makes the suspected situations come off quite well and giving this something to work with when it gets to the more pronounced ghostly actions. The big encounter here is the scene of her being trapped in the closet and prying it open which rips open her hands as she's released, as well as the later gag of the jewelry box as she walks into the room to watch her sleep, and along with the actual possession scene here where the ghost appears and presents the necklace that leads to the possession which takes place in full-view of the terrified victim for a rather nice amount of fun here. This one also manages to get some nice work her in the final half of the possessed girl around the house giving this a rather fine atmosphere here, which is all enough there to make up for the minor flaws within this. The biggest element against this one is that it all too readily betrays its origins, being filled with all the usual prerequisites for this type of film as there's long stretches of time without any horror angles and too many useless elements merely meant for women to be hooked into watching that have no bearing on the plot as a whole. That usually means that most of the scares here build- up to a drama about her skills as a mother rather than horror angles, and they do cause this some problems because of that. The other main problem here is the rushed finale, as the brawl comes off rather clunky and off-putting by being so stagy, and the events here make it seem even weaker as there's another big problem with the scene away from the ideas behind the scene. While there's some good parts that make for some decent times here and there, these few flaws do hold it back.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Violence and Language.

Recently divorced single mom Rachel (Ryan) moves into an under-priced dream house with her two daughters. Her oldest daughter Lizzie (Panabaker) takes the basement room that has a curious wall that they tear down. A ghost that died in the house years ago and is stuck there eventually uses Lizzie as a vessel and swaps souls with her to try and escape the house. The other daughter Molly (List) is part psychic and finally with the help of a spiritual friend convinces her mom on what is going on. This made for lifetime movie starts off promising enough with a touch of atmosphere and a spooky feel. The weight of its TV roots takes hold and everything becomes quite bland. For starters the ghost itself and how Director Christopher Leitch decides to show it to us is very lame and brings no tension to these moments at all. The possession angle is also lifeless and the script lets mother Rachel seem useless until the end in helping her daughter. Pre-teens or fans of horror light may enjoy this due to good production values; those looking for supernatural terror need not apply.

This haunted house movie contains "all" the clichés of the genre. The spirit trapped in the house where its bodily remains are still hidden. The ghost in the bathroom mirror. The research into the house's past at the public library. The jewelry box starting to play its tune by itself. The spiritualist lady. And so on.Still, the movie is not over when one believed it would be over - with the finding of the skeleton. Instead, there is a new, sinister development - although this was also, for a horror movie buff like me, quite predictable. As for the ghost, it was a little tame. It ought to have been more scary-looking.Still, the movie was quite entertaining, and sometimes even exciting and a little scary! I also liked how they portrayed the single mum-two kids relation, and the mother's feelings about her little girls growing up. I could relate a lot to that!
