I gave this a 4 out of ten, and I am being quite generous for one thing and one thing only.My wife and I were able to break the code! After our conversations following the movie it made it better to watch and understand.The reason this movie COULD have been good is because it showed promise of having a 6th Sense type of feel. The dead ghost helping you live out part of your life, but no one knows he's dead type of thing.Well in this movie, it was the sister "Wendi" instead of Bruce Willis.This movie fell short in so many ways, the build up was way to vague and slow, there were a lot of beautiful shots, a lot of moments where we thought, "hey where did they film this, we'd like to go drive that route"...In the movie the lead actress obviously had some demons in her past, and were all tied to the house left to her upon granny's death.The director showed that the lead actress had problems with intimacy and a man, each time they were about to do the dirty, she had some bizarre vision. Well to make an extremely long boring story short.... here is my official synopsis.The lead actress and her sister "Wendi" were obviously molested and sexually abused by Grandpa, this lead to intimacy issues...When she goes back to the house to prepare it for sale, she was forced to face the demons that she tried so hard to suppress...She saw visions, had nightmares and battled other emotional issues. She met the grounds keeper who turns out to be a mere presence of a "young grandpa"... yes the ground-keeper didn't exist as the story leads you to believe... he is in fact grandpa, her face turns very concerned every time she gets a good look at him as if there was something strangely familiar about this guy.Few scenes later kid sister Wendy shows up, says "you started without me", Big sis is surprised enough to see Wendi that she drops all of the pictures and runs down to hug her, she exclaims profoundly how she is glad to see her again and how she misses her... the next line out of Wendi's mouth was a BIG BIG hint... she say's "wow this place is just like I remember it" to which big sister replies, "that's funny it seems a lot smaller" As the movie progresses, "wendi" grows quite fond of this grounds-keeper, the relationship comes to a frightening end when the grounds-keeper says to Wendi, "you can't dance worth sh**, let's see what you can do better than dance" Our best guess is that these are words that Grandpa actually uttered while he was molesting one or both of the girls in their youth.The lead actress faces her demons of a fear of horses, saves sister, has a confrontation with the grounds-keeper, in their battle Wendi falls over the railing and dies... grounds-keeper gets killed, pretty run of the mill.In some of the final scenes of the movie, boyfriend comes back, rain stops, he gives the most boring reveal ever in a movie "Wendi has been dead for 17 years" It's then and ONLY then can you start to piece together this puzzle that had a lot of potential, but because of the Juvenile brain of the director, it never made it to your television... how sad.Oh by the way, the reason the place seemed just the same to Wendi and not her sis is because... obviously wendi only has memories of it as a kid since she died as a kid.But now that you've seen what I had to say, Watch it again, think about these words... the movie will be much better for you.

This movie reminds me of Ed Wood movies but it lacks the "charm".Directing is very lazy. It seams like whenever there was a choice of doing something in a harder and better or easier and worst way director made a choice for the second.The movie projects no energy and creates no interest - for me at least - seams like this aesthetic suits other people very well but I had to fast forward a lot of scenes and I actually skipped last 20mins to the end which was an even bigger disappointment: Another movie that ends with discovery that main character imagined everything.I like this ending in Alice in Wonderland but it seams to be very trendy with thrillers and horrors lately and - for me - it ruins the whole thing and seams very easy and cheap way justify the story.Sorry I am not very constructive but I cant say much more - it was a waste of money to rent this film.
