2/10
Very bad acting but some interesting camera work!

The first thing I want to say about this movie is that it reminded me this movie called The Entity somehow. Is it a coincidence that the woman had 1 teenage boy and 2 little daughters? Mmm... Maybe a coincidence or maybe because it was a cliché family left after the dad's death. The part that especially reminded me that movie is when the woman took the children in her car in the middle of a storm and took them to her sister's without explanations. The woman seeing that bellboy and talking with him also made me feel I was watching The Shining again.

Why do I think this movie is bad? The plot is weak, very weak. There are some laughable characters, for example the guy next door that conquered the woman's heart in a snap! Gosh, a couple of days and she was crazy about him. Even the 3 children were crazy about him!!! The other laughable character is that woman in the chemistry lab, who is supposed to be a human resources personnel. WTF??? Does she work in human resources and she is a kind of witch or something??? This character made the movie to become a comedy.

Another bit of comedy is that mom keeps telling her boy "Be careful with your motorbike" and stuff while she is a disaster driving her car! Take a look at how she drives and you will understand.

The acting was very bad and Andy Mc Dowell is beautiful but she looked quite old here, what happened with her face? All I can save in this movie is some great camera movements and the effects when the husband ghost appeared, for example, when he appeared reflected in a glass. I really enjoyed the moments when the husband appeared.
