This movie suuuuucks. It trades in the clever, creeping scares of the original for a half dozen jump scares (many of which are the same "truck coming at you from nowhere") and a slasher movie ending. The scariest bit in the original is when the dad goes into the house and everything's all warped and twisted around...that scene messes with my brain to this day. This movie doesn't have anything like that. Bah.

the only good actor and the only good thing about this movie was John Lithgow what an amazing actor he's the only reason I wanted to see this movie. I'm not a horror movie fan I prefer not seeing movies that are scary. they have plenty of scary movies but when you want a Christian movie or movie of faith we can't seem to find them and if they do make them they lie about the movieand make the movie full of lies and nothing true about what the Bible says

I have seen the original film, this version is similar in style but also different enough to be engaging. There were a lot of sequences that are typical of horror films: the blur between dream and reality, the appearance of ghosts, whispering, weird dreams, fog etc. I wish there was a bit more depth to the story. I like that there was a bit more character development than in the original.
