Very well executed

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie had a very good base, but the acting was horrendous, and horrible! This is the worst acting that I have ever seen! Except for the adults, they were pretty good. For this movie if they got better actors and actresses this movie would be an excellent movie! Whenever something scary happened all of the actors and actresses wouldn't even act scared they would just run, they would also scream but it definitely wasn't real! I am definitely not seeing this movie ever again! No wonder I have never heard of any of these actors and actresses, for most of them this was the first and probably only thing they have ever done, and I can most definitely tell why! I most definitely do not recommend this movie for any age groups!

As far as Kid Actors, you can't get much better. Maybe "The Sixth Sense" or "Road to Perdition" but those are not for kids. The plot might be a little far fetched but what movie isn't? It is refreshing to see how little kids can entertain us old folks for an hour and a half. I was holding my breath and almost passed out when the little runts entered the haunted house. So scary, so well filmed I could only scream aloud, "Wow that's some good stuff"! It reminds me of how "The Exorcist" made me feel: the nervous sweat, the rapid heartbeat, and the dry mouth. The only cure for what I got would be a quick release of the sequel. Anyhow, I loved this movie so much I bought the video and recommend all kids under fifteen to go out and buy this silly little flick. Peace Out.

i have seen this movie and really sucks big time, not only the child acting also the adults are so fake that u can't imagine. Not even good for kids, maybe up to 4 year old. The plot, the story, the script, the acting OMG i can't believe. This doesn't rate even for Z category.

**some spoilers but you really have nothing to spoil**This has to be some of the worst acting i have seen in a very long time. It's bland, non inspirated, and frankly, nobody is even trying. That said, this movie goes all over the place. For a ghost story it throws in debt, corporate management, struggling parents, small town buy out, you name it. So at the end of the day, the kids save the day by raising 300k, which their mom owes the IRS so she won't have to sell the shop to the corporate suits which want to build something in its place. Even for a kids movie, it's stupid, and even my girlfriend's 6 year old sister didn't laugh... which is why i was watching this in the first place.
