This horror movie from Warner Bros. is nothing special, but it's nice to see a modest genre entertainment buoyed by a major studio's resources.

The entity is a ghostly presence amid an even ghostlier absence. This is truly distressed real estate.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Rotten
Something lacking either body heat or visceral suspense.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
For casual viewers desiring a few scares, some suspense and a sustained sense of dread and malevolence, you could do worse.
Frank Lovece, Newsday
Rotten
Lights flicker; soap and cactuses blacken; claw marks appear; icky molds gather like hornet nests.
