gavin6942 Wes Merritt (Michael Ontkean) and his daughter Natalie (Ellen Page) get more than they bargained for when they buy an old house that was formerly inhabited by the nice old Mrs. Ashboro and her pet cat, Margaret. When strange things start happening in the house, all fingers point to the presence of Margaret, who died the same day as Mrs. Ashboro. But why has she come back to haunt them? Trying to call this a "horror" film is something of a stretch, as it really falls more into a "family mystery" category. Having been made by Animal Planet, it has something of a TV vibe and is quite family friendly. There is, in fact, a ghost cat, and it does somehow happen to claw people from beyond the grave.The casting is decent, bringing a post-"Twin Peaks" Ontkean together with a pre-"Juno" Page (who would have thought she would get big after seeing this film?). Everyone else is largely unknown (although, to be fair, they were probably all largely unknown at the time).Great film? Definitely not. Good family fun, yes, certainly.

darkspider Upon stumbling across this feature TV film on my local cable movies channel. I was pleasantly surprised as me and my nephew sat down and enjoyed it from beginning to end.A heroic girl moves into the house of her deceased mothers' librarian, of course this comes out later in the film.A very enjoyable film and being British we didn't know the difference of where it is filmed, actually it didn't matter. It had reminisces of a typical TV program Goosebumps.A fun family film, tongue in cheek not meant to be taken seriously.Thumbs up from me, even the soundtrack was well suited.As kids films go I rate this 6/10

Melm This is a simple children's movie with all the classic Disneyesque components, evil nephew trying to get his hands on his late aunts estate, kind hearted woman trying to save all the animals and implants from the big city relocating to "start over". It's not that great - I only watched it because of the cat - the acting was rather wooden and although i was fooled by the New York licence plates, my instincts were still good - it was Canadian, wooden - why is it that we Canucks can do brutal stuff well like 'life after billy' and the story of the Christian Brothers abuse, but we do general stuff so badly - I'm not sure if it's just poor directing (after all we have great canadian actors who go on to make in in other milieus) Anyway, simple stuff for kids, no one ends up dead (except the ghosts of course!)

msoucie A simple little movie involving a cat that dies and then becomes a ghost ... our ghostly cat heroically saves the day when the evil villains try to destroy an animal shelter ... this movie is easy, mindless entertainment for all ages.
