A mother and her young son release unimaginable horrors from the attic of their rural dream home.
The title of this bomb says everything: It was very disappointing and more than that, it was totally derivative with a soporific script. It is supposed to be the story of, maybe, the ghost of a child living in a limbo and all that blah blah blah that has been used and abused in much better films (e. g. The Ring)
Mrs Beckinsale, it seems, was in need of some fast cash and that is probably why she decided to work in this project.
The story is so dull and lacking that the director had to resort to loud noises (as always) to tell the audiences that something supposedly interesting was about to happen, or better, to wake up the audiences because this was a pretty boring attempt at making a supernatural film.
It is absurd to see that people waste time and money and talent to try and tell a story where absolutely nothing happens.
The only way to make a film like that mildly entertaining was to add some gratuitous sex scenes showing Mrs Beckinsale in a shower, having sex with her husband or anything like that; but director and writers could not even think about it.
There is nothing here, this is the typical fare of Lifetime and Hallmark networks, a horror story for grannies.
