if you describe any of the scene while nightmare of child murder you in your sleep and your infant daughter talk to ghost and search for your lose child in an abandoned mine at night and so petrified with fear that you can not move even though the blood from a murder victim be drip onto you from the floor above then i would say you have a horror movie . but some how wicked little thing just wasn not scary . i be a horror fan and i love the location and the plot in principal and i like the three lead lady . i do not want to see them come to harm and i want the bad guy to get his just dessert and the rest of the cast be always simply cannon fodder so i be indifferent either way with them and it play out every cliché in the book even down to the torch battery run out in the pitch dark just a you start to here whisper voice close in on you . i would still recommend that you watch it and but unless you be new to horror movie or under 12 year and you will have see it all before .
