*NON-SPOILER*
The film was very original and had some great ideas. It was a reasonably good picture where at times you could reach into the the plot and imagine you were really there, in the film. The direction the film took could have gone many of ways. The story followed a path of a life over other potential aspects of which I felt could have been more intriguing, which might sound vague but I do not want to reveal any spoilers. Overall is was worth a watch and I enjoyed it, following the joiurney, but in all fairness, will probably not watch again.

It's a good movie, not much above average, but it does a fine job in becoming provocative about our own struggle with death. So not horror or psychological, in my opinion, but interesting.
The concept was pretty cool and unique and the story kept me involved from start to finish.
I enjoyed this immensly.

A really creative Sci-fi about a mysterious room in a house with magic abilities.
It does a good job balancing strangeness with reality, but I think they could of taken it a little further at points.
Reminds me of things I imagined as a kid. Overall a great concept and really interesting, but I'd have liked a little more thrill from it.
This movie could of been really on the edge of the seat suspenseful, but everytime you think it's going to take you to that place, it doesn't quite delivery.
I felt like I was waiting for something shocking or grabbing to occur, but the fact that it ne er does, is a little underwhelming.
The resolution for the ending could of had been written better, It ends with lackluster. I'd have really liked a solid punch that resolved around the house rather than how it actually concludes.
In that regard I feel there was some blur that occurs in the stories objective, it felt like the story ended on the secondary story, rather then the main story of the house. Maybe it was left open for a sequel. If no sequel is planned, then the movies ending failed.
Over all, this movie reminds me a bit like an Outer Limits tv episode, with a dash of Twilight Zone, and a sprinkle of some of M. Night Shyamalan's better work mixed in.
I gave it an IMDB rating of 7, but that may be a little generous.

Great thriller with very interesting story. It won't win awards for acting( good, but not that good), but the story is excellent. Another reviewer compared it to Outer Limits episode which I also agree.
Certainly it could've been even better with bigger budget and millions $$ in SFX(lol) . Sure, I'd want to see how far they could've gotten with their wishes as well as towards the end it could've been a bit more twisted, but nevertheless, it is a great thriller that is different than majority of thrillers these days which have the same stories over and over.
Now, we all have different taste in movies. You can see my other ratings and reviews to see what I like and then decide if you want to watch it. In short, if you like Outer of Limits/Black Mirror type of entertainment, you will LOVE this movie.
