aka The Dark. "It's not all over, they never go away."
A house in rural Spain is connected to the disappearance of seven children. Forty years later, Mark (Iain Glen) moves back to Spain from America, bringing his wife and two children with him. But whilst her mother and father are preoccupied with the move into the house, the daughter Reggie (Anna Paquin) becomes convinced there are malevolent forces at work there, focused on her younger brother.
Your standard haunted house script, is lifted by a subtle but effective atmosphere of unease, developed by the director, slowly and deliberately. Unfortunately this is let down by an anti-climactic ending.
