A great movie

I don't remember much about this movie, seeing as I was but a lad of four years when first I watched it, but I do remember loving it. I was scared though, that was somewhat surprising to me. I do remember the vivid use of color, and vacuum-cleaners (with little ping-pong balls), it reminded me of a younger child's The Shining. You'll love this movie if you ever get a chance to see it!
