So, for a 21 year old flick, that certainly must have been made for tv at the time because Greg E wasn't a big crossover movie guy and Elizabeth Moss was quite young and not known, it's not bad. Definitely has a layer of the late 90's style to it, not even into the 2000s yet despite its release date. But, there's something to be said for that...still sort of vanilla and with a story. Let's face it, the whole feel to movies shifted in the next decade as well as watcher attention span and need for doses of adrenaline all the time instead of on occasion. Not every thriller has to freak me out. I enjoyed it, and the story does unfold. I watched it over morning coffee, didn't turn it off...it had a twist. As long as I don't turn it off, it's usually okay. Moss does a good job for not being experienced at the time. Just keep thinking...2001 versus 2022...some innocence still existed in our world.

There aren't words to explain how bad this movie is. I think that they're professional writers and there are certainly some professional actors but, everyone seems to have checked their skills at the door. This movie is genuinely a master class in bad writing and bad acting, not to mention, bad make up, hair, and costumes. If you do choose to watch this move, you will probably spend most of your viewing time thinking, for the love of God would someone...anyone please brush Kelly's awful, awful hair. There's really nothing else to say the movie is genuinely as ridiculous as my review.

This is not a horror movie, not a thriller or suspense movie either. It's a ghost story for kids with some added teen drama. It is quite slow and does get a bit boring and the acting does seem a bit strange, but it's a tv-movie from 90's era and they often were like this - well not this bad but you know...

The one thing that drove me crazy about this movie is the fact that Kelly always looked like she needed to brush her hair. Drove me freaking crazy!!!! Could they not afford a hair and makeup person? Or did she never look in the mirror. She looked like she rolled around in bed and walked on set. Maybe she did not own one!! It was so distracting to see her hair like Einstein in ever shot there was no way I could take anything seriously. I might have gave it 5 stars if the director had made her brush that mop. The story was okay. I think this might have been a lot better if they would have cast better actors.I think the little girl was the best actor in the whole movie. The only thing you heard her do was laugh!

This is one of the best ghost films I've seen for a while as its got a mystery and scary things happening. A teenaged girl lost her mother in an accident so she moves with her dad to start fresh. They move into a haunted house and she learns that there's a deeper mystery. I found this an awesome movie.
