The film is about a family that movies into a new home to find that is it haunted. The mother [Rose] starts seeing things, then the oldest of the three kids falls in the attic from a ladder and goes into a coma. I liked that the film is not straight forward, without spoiling how it all plays out... I'll say that the haunting isn't tied to the house, and the coma isn't related to the fall. The father becomes reclusive and we learn that his character has this running from fear because of a repressed childhood memory.
The best part of horror films is the science fiction behind them. A scary movie that is just trying to spook you, won't stick with you. This film has an idea and explains it fully, the "further" is fully explained. Sure it might not be realistic, but the fantasy/sci-fi of it isn't held back. The screenplay writer and director took great risk by "putting it all out there." This tends to get mixed reviews from realists and skeptics that want to dissect everything around it.
So I ask you... do you like horror films that stay vague, in rely on the viewers imagination? Or do you like horror films that explain an alternate universe in depth, potentially making you realize it isn't a real threat? I liked it, and I can see how some people wouldn't.
