advantage, as the atmosphere feels real...if that makes sense. The actors feel like kids and a new adult parent, with tragedy being the atmosphere.The characters felt realistic. I think Thomas Mann reminds me of a young Tom Hanks, very innocent looking, but when given a role, he shines.The movie was scary to me, a bit creepy. I loved the minimum use of CGI, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. It starts to feel a bit sci-fi'ish but than gathers itself and builds.9 out of 10.

Even the obligatory last shot, so that we know it hasn't ended at all, is there. There are no jump-scares or graphic displays of violence or gore, instead it's more about a sinister and menacing atmosphere, and though the ghosts may visually not be spectacular, they work creepy enough. Story and script provide a fine and detailed back-ground for the different characters, so that you care for every one of them and the acting of all family-members is surprisingly good: Kate Moyer as the precocious little Becca and Percy Hynes White as the grieving and forlorn younger brother both do a great job and Thomas Mann is equally convincing as the endearing, caring and increasingly exasperated big brother who has to keep the orphaned family afloat. All in all I liked it for what it is: a good, solid, well acted non-pretentious horror-flick.
