The Australian team of writer Leigh Whannell and director James Wan turn the haunted house genre on its head with this effective horror film. A couple with three young kids leave a haunted house only to move into another. Whannell and Wan took inspiration from classic horror films, specially Poltergeist which they could have pushed even further. While there are some scary and chilling moments, there are also some not so scary ghosts and comic relief that takes away from the terror. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne star along with Barabara Hershey and Lin Shaye. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
