STORYLINE
As the Barrett family's peaceful suburban life is rocked by an escalating series of disturbing events, they come to learn that a terrifying and deadly force is after them.

MY REVIEW:
I do love science fiction and thrillers, so this seemed like a good idea to me so I gave it a shot.

So, the movie starts with introducing the Barrett family, who loves in the suburbs, the dad is out of work and they are struggling. The families two sons are very different, one is a teenager discovering girls and one is a eight-nine year old who seems a little different. The family starts seeing odd things happen in the house and think it might be intruders or even the younger child. The things keep getting stranger and stranger.

Its slow paced, but has enough scares to propel the to the end. There are some classic horror influences.. a little Poltergeist and maybe a little Close Encounters...

It was a pretty run of the mill thriller/horror movie with a few decent scares tossed in. Solid 4 for that and a little creep factor. This movie is not nearly as well done as those two, but it was working with the right ideas. It works as a thriller, but not a great scary movie.
