pretty bad movie offer nothing new . the usual creak and moan attempt to make up for a muddled and but thin story . acting be barely above pathetic . why liam neeson sign on for this be anyone guess . owen wilson truly turn in one of the bad performance in recent horror movie history . catherine zeta jones be fun to look at and not much else although lili tayor do an above average job . the special effect be fairly memorable and the house itself be breathtaking and hauntingly gorgeous . however they can not makeup for the poor acting and the storyline which appear to have be throw together at the last minute . don not bother .
