The plot is great, actors are amazing, especially the little girl.

I watched it 20 years ago in the theater and I really enjoyed watching it again, even knowing the plot, and that is the best indicator of a great movie.

It's a very good ghost story, a kinda inversion of The Turn of the Screw.

One of Nicole Kidman's best for sure! 😊

I liked it quite a bit. Subtle, spooky, what you want from a ghost story.

A true classic horror story instead of an over-the-top slasher mimicking horror. Great script, acting, directing. Spooky. Smart. My favorite horror film.

It is a good movie, but the problem with these kind of movies is that you watch them once and maybe once more to see what you missed the first time. Like The Sixth sense.

where is the problem ?

The problem is that it is a beautifully made movie. It was well written, well acted, but the thing that keeps it all together and interesting is the suspense. Once that is gone, the slowness, that added to it, makes it dull.
