6/10
Many "jump" scenes when the ghosts attack.
Diane's mother dies. We only find out when Diane's crying in the kitchen, while Steven's hugging her.
The look of Kane may frighten some young viewers.
Diane is in the garden, and then dead people come out of the ground and pull her in with them. But it turns out to be a dream.
The last 30 minutes are quite disturbing, emotional and intense.
