Must See Movie...

Better Late Then Never

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

My first thought was, "If she's going to deliver her lines like this the whole movie, I'm not sure I can watch the whole thing. Maybe if they'd had the budget to hire a better actress, this might be a decent movie. Oh good, the kid actor sucks too." The dialogue was terrible. The "twists" were entirely predictable, and the score was obnoxious--way too much use of discordant violins. All in all, a waste of an hour and a half. I had considered turning it off at the 8 minute mark and taking a nap instead; that would have been a better use of my time. The best thing about this movie was the reminder that Justin Long exists.

The plot is good, but the pace and acting are unfortunately much less than expected. Could have turned out a better movie if the casting was different, however Justin Long was good

It was very well done, mood, camera works, acting and especially the music.However, it was the same old story of spirits wanting for the truth to be told. Why couldn't have this been just about the psychological effects of a traumatized child who was suppressing her memories and the truth. And then later in life as she was stronger and able to face it was remembering what really happened.why bring the supernatural into such a beautifully shot movie with an excellent music score and this scary mood they were able to create even without the introduction of ghosts. This movie was scary enough without the spirits and ghosts they later got involved into the movie. All the supernatural could have been her dreams or subconscious trying to help her remember and face the truth and see who the monster in real life was.Any ways, I enjoyed it and give it 5 out of 10 only for all the hard work in everything they did except for the actual story. Movie makers, sometimes a simple story is a better story. 5 out of 10 for me is a very watchable movie i am stingy at scoring levels.I recommend this movie to drama watchers, art lovers and ghost/spirit story lovers. Horror fans stay away and their wasn't much mystery as I had already guessed what happened half way in the movie.

Deserved a much better lead actress, for example. Abbie Cornish is totally apathetic, disinterested at acting, sometimes delivering out-of- place loud responses that comes from nowhere and most of the time keeping a vacant look that says nothing and feels nothing. The costumes she wear are a horrible hillbilly attempt at "country" fashion; the script deserved better sequences (there is no justification for her to stay at the hospital for so long, for example, for from day one she shows no injuries whatsoever...) and so on.... Not worth viewing.
