Notes

My quick rating - 5,7/10. I found the story in this extremely well done. It does end up bordering on the "couldn't happen" spectrum when the mystery unfolds and I think a bit of work fixing that would've upped my like for this. Still some great performances are displayed in a pretty chilling flick that alluded me for this long. Surprised IMDB is so low (5.1), I thought my score might actually be a bit harsh. The story itself focuses on a curse that is cast onto a man (Sutherland) back last century, and the majority of the film involves the evil that is then haunting his family. I liked the camera work that was used to show the ghost sort of taking in its surroundings in a creative way as well. Overall, worth the watch for sure. Even sneaks in an important life message.
