    A very good ghost story/thriller. Beautifully filmed with attractive actors and yes...I jumped! :-) Several times...lol. My husband, who's not a big 'horror' fan, did not see the end coming. To those reveiwers who didn't find it scary...guess you should just give up on scary movies and move on to documentaries, because this was about as good as ghost movies get.

    Entertaining movie, well worth watching. The ending was good enough that I watched it twice to see if I could detect any hints as to what was really going on.
