Casey Bell (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spiritual advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman), who can make it stop .With Sendak's help, Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany - a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.

I really didn't mind this one, but considering the reviews and basic genre of the movie I was not expecting much. I like the way they explained the history of what was happening so I wasn't left with a thousand questions like I normally am with these kinds of movies. It wasn't too gruesome either, the movie's menu was probably the worst of it and I was able to sleep the night after I watched it. That's always a plus. I also enjoyed the cast, it was very fresh. =]

Whoever cast this did a poor job, given the lead actress is pretty awful. Besides that, and the fact some stuff just doesn't make sense in this film, and it feels contrived, this has its moments. Cam Gigandet and Gary Oldman are welcome but wasted.

TERRIBLE ACTING, ACTORS AND DIALOGUES. Tons of deams sequences, tons of cliches. It's bad and the visual fx looks sometimes POOR. The storyline looks that it's been improvised taking a bit of this (The Omen), a bit of that (The Grudge). The back story ( the Auschwitz theme) is completely ridiculous. From the first frame I got the idea that it's going to be a stinker and I was right. This flick has been made to make money not giving a damn about the sense, the logic of the story. Don't waste your time!
