Jennifer Connelly is in this. Who cares what the movie is about?

An insanely anti-climactic movie, that was very unfulfilling.

A single mother moves into a house that has a DARK secret. This is a slow - some would say depressing - horror allegory. There's good acting and it comes to a solid start, but then it struggles hard to engage, flirting with a lot of ideas, like it's teasing you, in the end somehow becoming less than the sum of its parts.

Is scary at times, but overall it is pretty bland and boring.

Nonsensical one note horror movie. Not bad, but surprisingly bland and uninteresting.

A little enjoyable, but should watch just to pass the time.

Reasonably well crafted horror effort will be burdened by any fresh memories of the superior Japanese original – these memories give the film a warmed-over, second-hand feel which is not really fair to the fine cast (Reilly’s slickly ingratiating salesman is a highlight) and Salles’ direction. Simplifying certain characters and concepts doesn’t always quite pay off; while the denouement and epilogue are clearer here, they are missing the memorably elliptical puzzlement of the original.
