Effective spookiness from director James (Saw) Wan, proving he is quite capable without the torture devices. The movie is all old school: haunted-house premise, practical make-up effects, a palpable absence of digital flourishes. The plot is simple enough: a relatively happy family begins to experience the typical bumps in the night after the youngest son falls victim to an unexplainable coma. The creepy disturbances eventually give way to all-out terror, but not without a good degree of intelligent pacing and narrative restraint. The film is the cinematic equivalent of a good, startling Boo! 2011. (2011) — John Rubio
