beccabentley I came to watch this film with low expectations as it was on the horror channel. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the directing was excellent. Especially like the facing person perspective when the mother was exhausted and going through the motions of collecting clothes for washing. I have watched numerous mainstream horror films that have been well received but severely lacking in plot, suspense, acting skill and sense. This film ticked all the boxes for me. The acting was strong and the way their lives and relationship slowly degraded through lack of sleep and what was happening to them was really well done. As a mother of 4 kids I can fully understand the effects of sleep deprivation. I liked the way the couple were left doubting themselves and didn't know whether they were hallucinating from lack of sleep or whether the things they were seeing were real. I did find it unbelievable that they would have stuck so stubbornly to staying in the house. I think realistically they would have given up on the house long before. And where were family or friends in all that time? And why did they insist on keeping the child in his own room? Realistically they would have brought him in with them long before too. The ending surprised me and I thought it was a good twist. Although there were some believability issues I still gave this film a 9 as after, becoming jaded by so many over hyped under quality horror films, I felt this was really effective, very suspenseful and really well directed. I would definitely recommend it.

philneil From the outset this title had all the hallmarks of being a really eerie & atmospheric supernatural thriller/horror. The 'haunted house' has been done to death (pun intended), but the premise remains stalwart & dependable to fans of the genre. A couple move away from the city to the peaceful countryside with their newborn child. From there on in, this movie seemed like a gruesome analogy for parenthood. Sleepless nights; fractured relationships; paranoia; doubt; deceit. All this with a question of 'not knowing what is real & what is nether worldly' thrown in, makes this gripping viewing. Then comes the conclusion to this tale of marital strife... >>>IT RENDERED THE WHOLE MOVIE NONSENSICAL<<< I give this title a 5 because I did enjoy it right up to (well prior to) the end.

The Broadster Hi, I watched this film last night with friends. Altho' I now feel I should get better friends. The actual film it self makes time stand still, which only prolongs the agony of watching it.The basic premise of the movie has been done so many times before, and much better as well. A couple move from the city to county to bring up a baby, and spooky things begin to happen. Mainly involving a woman, who looks like a Fat version of the scary girl in The Ring. But with out the ability to be scary. Who pops up every now and then to try and remind viewer that it is meant to be a horror film. Add the back drop of a sleepless couple, who are struggling to cope with the lack of sleep due to the baby and the noisy workmen building a house in the next field!!.(they should of watched this film, they would've dropped off with in minutes) And you start to think is it really happening or is it just hallucinations due to sleep depravity. Then you realise it is really happening, your watching the worst film ever!!!.

Rajarajan P (greenxgene) I was watching this movie late in the night. I was a bit scared. I strangely felt like the entire movie was shot in New Zealand. The babysitter girl was kinda cute. Sad to see her getting killed. Its surprising to the see construction workers reacting politely to Alex's sabotage. The movie has got the typical combination of moody weather, lonely place and far-away-from-city lifestyle. Except for the ghost part, this is the kind of world I wanna live in. Anyway I was expecting more antagonistic blood thirsty ghost but the film lacked them a bit. Also the film reminded me of another movie 'Uninhabited'. If you like 'Dark Circles' you will like that movie also.
