7/10
Seriously flawed, but still good
6 May 1999
Two major flaws prevented this film from being truly great, but it was still a good movie that was at times engrossing and most certainly was memorable. It was quite intriguing once it got going, but I'd have to say that there was too much time spent on the period before the boy goes missing. Once he seemingly is back, it is a thoroughly entertaining film...that is, until the daughter starts displaying her supernatural powers. This part of the story almost killed the movie, but luckily, it never became a central issue, so things never got too bad. A terrific ending also helped to win me over. This should have been a GREAT film, considering how outstanding it was at times, but instead, this is only slightly above average.
