When a couple finds their daughter talking to someone who apparently
isn't here, they think she's got an imaginary friend ... and boy, they
don't have the first idea what troubles they are really in, because the
friend their little girl is talking to is not imaginary at all, but a
ghost girl who was killed five years ago along with her mother in the
house our couple has just moved into. Soon, the parents too are haunted by
the ghosts of the girl and her mother - but they seem to mean them no harm,
in fact mother is actually saved from a rapist by the ghosts in one
instant. Ultimately, mama ghost takes over the living mum to exact revenge
on those who murdered her, then she and her daughter bid farewell to our
little family and the plane of the living altogether, smiles in their
faces. A violent and effective opening is followed by a very
weak horror film that totally lack in shocks and scares, a deficit not at
all made up by the simplistic revenge plot that actually doesn't kick in
until late in the movie. The rest of the time is filled up with
unnecessary subplots that give the film a very uneven feel and detract
from the main plot so much one tends to forget it. Better give this one a
miss!
