You leave slightly asquirm. You know it will linger. It becomes a clammy, chilly movie building toward a revelation that you cannot predict. As I say: I cannot tell you. You'd hate me if I did. I can only say, don't look now, but look sometime.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
So transparent is Osment as an actor, and so rare, that the pain on his face stabs you in the heart.
Osment's pinched, old-young face suggests an ancient's insight without an ancient's defenses -- a sensitivity so exquisitely morbid that you worry more for his emotional than physical well-being.
Willis turns in a measured and understated performance.
A delicate, emotionally attentive, but very scary ghost story.
