Having seen the trailer a few months ago, this movie instantly went on my check-list as a must-see movie. The film starts with an interesting story as a mother works to save money for her ill child who lives far away. Soon she starts to see some strange things and she begins to question her sanity. I liked this direction as the occasional specter would show up unannounced and leave just as quickly. We are left wondering if they are "real" or if they are just "real" to her. From the trailer I expected this film to creep my out a lot more than it did. Granted I have a high tolerance to being scared but I had hopes in what the trailer seemed to promise. Towards the 3/4 mark the film seemed to lose steam as we begin to see what is really going on (if you guessed it like I did) with the main character. What doesn't really make sense to me is why she would just start killing people like mad. Sure she had just lost her son but why the heck does that make her character just start killing people? Didn't seem to fit with the character in my opinion. Ultimately not scary and not shocking.
