Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz work very well together on screen ( and supposedly in real life as well) but they should have waited for a better film to showcase their chemistry and acting chops then this film, which not only does not respect their efforts in trying to bring humanity and credibility to a badly written script but does not even try to at least capitalize on their efforts in bringing more to the movie.

The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans. From the poster alone you may think you're in a for one heck of a creepy supernatural horror film given the creepy looking kids blending in with the wallpaper of the titular house, but this was one great misnomer, coupled with the fact that director Jim Sheridan and his leading cast have boycotted what was the final cut of the film when it was wrestled from the director's control, so as with all troubled productions, the final film bore the brunt of that falling out, and it tells. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. I give this movie a 7. When Daniel Craig met Rachel Weisz blanche-2 20 November 2013. But the story gets complicated while it develops itself and the dream house soon becomes a nightmare one after husband and wife know that terrible murders had taken place there five years before and strange events still related to it are still happening there and scaring them.

But it's nothing to rush out and wait in line for. User Ratings This is the place! I was expecting a classic paranormal movie with ghosts, spirits, entities, etc., but was surprised with the actual story line. What if, as in "Jacob's Ladder" and "Siesta", the ending changes everything. Daniel Craig obviously wanted a quick pay cheque, take the money and run 007, and don't look back.
