Ratings and reviews

Oh man ! One of the best movie you can watch alone with a bottle of beverage and spicy peanut snacks or with your partner and definitely not with kids. The child actress is the main pillar of the movie, her acting skills will definitely gonna make you think of his well such blossoming artists are nurturing by Hollywood film fraternity.

If you are tired seeing typical horror movies in which a ghost comes and seeks for revenge. But if you need a psychological thriller you came to the right place. The child actress Isabelle Fuhrman is so cute and so charming but you do not expect the plot twist in the end. A must watch movie and obviously not for kids.

Watched this. A good film as a psychological horror. A good plot twist in the end. At the end, it's WATCHABLE. 😱
