Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** The first time I remember seeing this movie was when i was probably about 7 or 8, and I enjoyed it then as much as i do now. Alot of people remember only small pieces (and some have a hard time remembering the title) of this film cause it has'nt been on tv in a long long time and finding a copy is somewhat hard to do, though I got lucky. After viewing this film for the first time in about 13 years I found myself not at all disappointed by it and was happy to find that even after all these years this movie still had the effects of creepyness to it to me as it did when i was a kid.

*Warning spoilers ahead* After the death of thier oldest daughter Jennifer(the scene most remember, little bratty brother from the poltergeist movies tieing her shoes laces and then the car crashing, everyone getting out accept the oldest daughter whom met her fate in an exploding car)The family has moved to a new house hoping to start over thier lives, Gramma also moves in with them. Mary the middle child begins hearing strange sounds, the errie voice of her dead sister calling out to her at night. After many nights, mary finally conforts the voice underbed and finds her sisters ghost smiling. She befriends her sisters ghost, happy to see her agian, but her sister wants more then friendship, she wants revenge! First gramma (the lizard under her sheets scene and scaring her into a heart attack) and then her little borther (good'ol push off the roof did him in good). then daddy in the bath-tub with a radio. Mary attempts to then kill her mother with a pizza cutter, but she manages to escape, and mary is locked up....Returning home with a nurse, mary's mother thinks the nightmare is over.....but guess who is at the end of the bed,"Hi mommy"... smilling and winking... This was a made for Tv movie and a very well made one at that, if you see it at a rental store RENT IT, you see it for sale...BUY IT! you will not be sorry you did. 10 out of 10 stars
