Before watching this I assumed it was some sort of ghost movie. Perhaps I was mixing it up with that Nicole Kidman movie with the similar title that I have no desire to ever see. This is a little more in the psychological-horror category and is also the sort of film that's hard to say much about without giving away the little twists it has. It also kind of reminded me of a spooky episode of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. While it's not a complete waste of time, it has some slight shades of PSYCHO mixed with THE BAD SEED, I did find it hard to actually care too much about any of the characters here besides maybe John Ritter's and that's only because he goes on to become Jack Tripper! The little kid here is not all that likable, the adults seem really dumb and as people get killed off no one seems to think of investigating the cause of death of any of them which probably would have made for a very short film. On the plus side a baby gets snuffed which is something you don't see much especially in a PG-rated film. Folks that are into bloodless more dramatic type horror films might dig this more than me and you can safely watch it with grandma without worrying about any boobies popping up.
