This was a good storyline backed up with some great acting...by Kyra Sedgwick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan? NO! The kids ruled in this movie. The children projected some great acting and I was thrilled and scared the entire movie.
Most possession movies throw things at you just to startle you and even though this one did that a few times, it wasn't overdone. When I was on the edge of my seat or hiding my eyes behind my hand, it was because of the story and plot, not because they were going to flash something scary on screen for a second with a loud audio cue.
Good job, it's been many year since a possession movie has given me what I paid for. Thanks!!
