Dahlia Williams and her daughter Cecelia move into a rundown apartment on New York's Roosevelt Island. She is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings and the apartment, though near an excellent school for her daughter, is all she can afford. From the time she arrives, there are mysterious occurrences and there is a constant drip from the ceiling in the only bedroom. There are also noises coming from the apartment directly above hers, though it would appear to be vacant. Is the apartment haunted or is there a simpler explanation?Written by

Alternate Versions
Unrated version adds one scene (dream sequence) but removes the dream/reality scene (where Dahlia dreams that her daughter returns from her father) and the scene where Ceci calls Dahlia. In the end the unrated version runs ca 1 minute shorter. See more »
Really not a bad film. Tense and disturbing ... not at all what the previews suggest. However, I found the casting of the three young girls very odd. Not in their acting abilities but simply in how they appeared. They all looked so much alike that it was extremely difficult to tell who was who. Perhaps the director was trying so say something with this but (for what it's worth) I feel he added unnecessary confusion.
But, all in all, a well crafted film .... one that separates itself from the flood (no pun intended) of "scary little girl" horror movies.
NOTE: Again, the previews released by the studio are misrepresenting the film
