I am a huge horror movie buff and my favourite type of horrors are ghost/haunted house films.So my question is - I can not recall seeing this movie and would like to know if this one is scary at all?It sure is scary for children (what movie isn`t) and maybe even teens but me being 26 and after watching hundreds and hundreds of horrors - is it worth seeing ???
Just saw this again for the first time since seeing it as a child. It totally holds up. Spooky, with some good horror movie moments (a mirror scene early in the movie is particularly goosebump-inducing, for example). Believable characters, nothing hokey or dumbed-down. I found the ending suprising, but it explained some things which I couldn't understand during the movie (and is very satisfying). I would recommend you watch it again too!
'Spooky' really is the best word to use to describe this film. It was spooky to me as a child and it's spooky now as an adult. Good story. Good tension. Good mystery...I remember the first time I saw it I thought it was a ghosty, but the realization toward the end that it wasn't really a ghost was a great little twist. All in all, I'd say it's just as enjoyable as an adult as it was in my childhood. The 'spook' factor doesn't fade in the least.
