This may not be Oscar-winning material, but it still kept me entertained right up until the end. The premise (couple with pregnant wife occupies a new home and is met with supernatural horrors, having to do with the unborn child) is not very original, but it was nicely done and the original twist here is that for a change it is not the house that is the cause of all the mishaps, but a box that they got as a gift. The acting by main characters Bojana Novakovic and Josh Stewart was pretty good, as was the supporting role by Delroy Lindo.
My main reservations lie in the fact that for a supposed horror movie it lacks real scares, it's all atmosphere (dark lightings, rain and thunder, strange noises, etcetera), the appearances are well done but don't really raise your hair and there is no gore or violence whatsoever. Add to this a rather slow pace, and the fact that in the end, when you were hoping to get all the answers, you're still kept in the dark for the why's and wherefore's.
So to sum it all up, it doesn't make my rating higher than a 6 out of 10.
