Decent but unsophisticated ghost story, best suited for young adults.

Fans of old-fashioned, atmospheric ghost tales will forgive the film’s obvious faults, but even they will have a hard time generating much enthusiasm for the movie.

Horror-Lite.

Creepy later-Bette Davis tale.

When it became obvious that the film's mix of cutesy sentiment and vague scariness wasn't working, the company ordered whole sequences to be rewritten, re-shot or re-edited, then imposed a stupid ending that explains precisely nothing.

This tepid ghost story fails to focus on either its story or its target audience.

A movie about how a camera presents a point of view and of how that point of view, if it's not attached to a specific identity, can become menacingly voyeuristic.

About as scary as a bagel that's been left out on the counter overnight. Okay, maybe it's a raisin bagel. I'll give you that much.
