Nothing new here.
Pedestrian tale of poltergeist (evil spirit...whatever) haunting a family.
Horror and supernatural films, unfortunately, have nothing new to add or tell. If it were not for special effects or extra graphic scenes the genre would be a rehash of old movies, which is the case WTLWO. Since the scares are mild, and special effects are pretty ordinary, this film has nothing new to show.
It is harmless, tolerable at most. One of these films for a cold, rainy night... But, I'd rather read a book!
3 stars for the effort.
