It isn't a bad film, just a good story which could have come in different hands, could have been much, much better.

I thought it was dreadful. Badly acted. Poor direction. No creepy or scary moments. And, it suffered from a lousy script -

SPOILER:

Did you know that the Lin Shaye stuff was filmed after test screenings? Whatever little story the film had revolved around her character and they only figured that out after filming. Aye-yai-yai!
