Kudos to those of you who like it. You've seen something I haven't.

For me, this was a throwback to the old Alfred Hitchcock style thrillers of the old days. It had a story that was character-driven and it took it's time building on those characters, which built to a CHILLING climax and a hell-of-a-ghost story. Great twist ending that caught me off-guard and a WONDERFUL performance by Nichol Kidman.

Those kids were creepy as hell and the comnflict between the young girl and her mother was nail-biting. It was a bit slower paced, but it built on suspence until it finally delivered.

WONDERFUL story-telling.
