Cert : 18 cert
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: Pretty much nothing other than some unintentionally, mildly revealing clothes.
One woman in two scenes wears a scoop neck top that reveals cleavage.
Violence & Gore: This movie doesn't use violence to scare or sicken.
A man shouts obscenities at a woman, slams her into a chair, chokes her (her lips redden) and the scene ends; we later see the dead woman sitting alone, staring open-mouthed and when another woman finds her, she gasps loudly. This is the most violent scene in the movie.
The man finds a young boy crying, chained to the floor, the man fights off a demon, picks up the boy, and he runs through a group of ghosts and back into his body (he gasps deeply).
Several people fend off ghosts trying to enter a house through the front door, a closet door, and a kitchen drawer (we see only a child's green hand there); they shout and scream and one of the men falls down several times, but no one is injured.
A boy falls off a ladder and bumps his forehead, we see no damage but the next morning he is in a coma that lasts for months; we see the boy at home in a hospital bed with a heart monitor and oxygen mask attached, along with two IV lines.
There are several instances of a large bloody hand print with pointy claws on a sheet. In one scene, we see two hand marks pressed on a window from outside and the window cracks.
Profanity: 2 F-words (1 spoken and 1 written but you have to pay attention to catch either uses), 1 sexual reference, 12 mild obscenities, name-calling (crazy, stressed, nut-jobs, parasite, bad guy, dog and pony show.)
Stereotypical references to aging and older people, young mothers, children, priests, churchgoers, sci-fi geeks, ghost hunters, psychics, supernatural worlds, ghosts, demons, 8 religious exclamations
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Technicians explain to a family that leaking electricity from their old house fixtures can cause visual and auditory hallucinations, just like a drug.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: many jump scenes
A man is hypnotized to leave his body and enter a netherworld of darkness and mists, we see his body fidget and shudder in his chair several times and we see him in the other world fighting ghosts and demons.
A séance is held in darkness, while a woman wears a large gasmask attached to a man with a hose and he listens and writes as she whispers words from "the other side":
Light bulbs flash and things pop and slam as the woman shakes and finally passes out; the words written on the paper include mild obscenities and a plea for help.
A comatose boy stands at a table, slaps his hand on it, making furniture and people fly and two men take many pictures of the melee and we later see ghosts in the pictures, standing beside humans.
A man shouts at the ghost of an old woman at a window (she's peering in at him) to leave him alone; she slides back and disappears.
We see a tall black shadow with a red forehead and nose and black claws point at a child in a bed.
Macabre faces appear and peer into the windows of an old house:
Four times we see the face of a humanoid entity with yellow eyes, red forehead, nose and chin, white pointy teeth and black horns.
We see a humanoid entity with black tattoo lines over its face as it sticks out a long red tongue and sharpens the claws of its hands on an electric grindstone; its chest and arms have long, thick fur and it has goat hooves for feet.
We see parents and two teen girls looking like wax figures, and one girl stands in front of the other three seated on a couch (the three look dead although we see no wounds) and the girl holds a shotgun and grins.
We see images of people walking slowly in a group with outstretched hands, grasping for a man that walks between them.
We see images of people stream out of a closet and into a boy's bedroom where a man and a woman scream and slam them back into the closet.
We see photographs in which ghosts appear reflected in windows and a car windshield or are actually standing beside humans.
A psychic describes what she sees on the ceiling of a room and a man shows a sketch of it (we see a drawing of a black and red shadow).
Macabre music plays frequently in the background of the film and we see many unexplained human-like shadows and hear distant noises.
We hear noises that include humans and violins screeching, female screams, various snarls and howls, grunts and male shouts, whistling, muffled pop music, heavy breathing like that of a wolf, creaking and door slamming.
We see the sick room of a comatose boy after it is ransacked and destroyed off screen -- the furniture is broken and the boy is lying on the floor unconscious with a red hand and claw print on what is left of a sheet.
A woman talks about spirits that try to take over human bodies and that spirits can smell an empty body and the worst kind possess a body in order to hurt other people.
A boy draws several crayon pictures of a black humanoid figure with an eyeless red face and black horns.
The whole movie is centered around how a demon/monster are trying to possess a child.
A Red-Faced Demon is shown sharpening his claws, with some freaky music playing. Not disturbing, but very scary.
There are some "Jump Scenes".
In the "Other World" scenes are quite intense, with some moments and disturbing ghosts.
There is a scene in which Josh and Renae see photos of little Josh. A ghost always appears in them. This time can be particularly frightening.
The "Tip-Toe Through The Tulips" or as you may call it, the bad guys' song, is quite disturbing and freaky
One of the jump scenes shows a red-faced demon appearing suddenly behind one of the characters, this is one of the scariest moments in the film.
In the beginning of the film, in the titles, something is seen moving in every shot (very scary).
It is less intense than Sinister or The Conjuring, but it has many scares and intense scenes
Story: A couple, Renai and Josh Lambert (Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson), and their three kids have recently moved into a new house. One morning, Renai begins looking through a family photo album. Her son, Dalton (Ty Simpkins), joins her. He asks why there are no pictures of Josh when he was a child, to which Renai reasons that he has always been camera shy. After Dalton tells Renai he is scared of his new room, she calms him down and stacks a few books on a nearby shelf. Later, after finding those books laying on the floor, Renai tells Dalton to put them back after he looks at them, but Dalton claims that he didn't touch them. Sometime later, as Dalton is playing, he hears noises in the attic and goes to investigate. He steps on an old ladder to turn on the light when it breaks, causing Dalton to fall. He starts screaming after looking at a shadowy corner. Renai and Josh help him, then tuck him into bed, confident he only took a minor spill and scared himself. The next day Josh goes to wake Dalton, but he does not move. They rush him to the hospital where the doctors say he is in an unexplained coma.
Three months later, still in a coma, they bring Dalton home to care for him there.
Over the next few days, escalating paranormal events begin to occur. One night, after arriving home late, Josh is confronted by Renai about the mysterious happenings in the house, which she claims is haunted.
Likes : i like this film because it was seriously creep & scary, the acting gave a believable performance to the haunting that really set the mood & tone of the film .It starts off little slow but once this film kicks in it dose have it moment when your sitting there thinking what the hell is going on then it hits you.
This is where this film gets creepy & scary, really does get under your skin special when you see what's haunting the kid whatever it was , seriously creeped you out, I love the make up 7 the look of the demonic spirit cleverly done in a way to look really evil to the point where you find yourself really creeped out by it, i've not watch the second film yet but as this one goes this is not a bad film to watch.
Dislikes : the only thing i didn't like about this film is the fact its a rip off of poltergeist movie where the son gets stuck in a paranormal world with an evil demon after him for his living body & the ending was predictable kind of saw it coming even tho this film made me jump in places.
Overall : This film is not to everyones liking but still i worth watching film if you like to be creeped out in horror films,but i would wait for the dvd because its not worth a cinema screening.
Rating : 3 out of 5 stars for original storyline, 6 out of 10 for horror & make you jump.
