this movie be try to something and but fail miserably . all the attempt at suspense be cheap and and there be so many tired gimmick and plot hole i end up laughing and make fun of it the whole way through . at least i be entertain . the ghost be attempt to warn the family and so why do they attack the girl and whose name i do not care to remember . and what be with the black and white at the beginning . i know what they be try to do and but they fell far short . and where the heck do that guy ( john corbett character ) come from . he just waltz in from no where in a vast field . and why do he suddenly lose it again when the raven come . and if the raven be a manifestation of the spirit of his family and then why do they attack him if it would make him try to kill the family . make no sense . so many thing in this movie just do not make sense and and the act ain not too pretty on the part of the main girl character . it not terrible and just a little like her kiddy movie day . so all in all this movie wasn not brilliant and but i have a good time rip at it and and sometimes that all a horror movie need to do . rent for entertainment not quality .
