While on the surface this is a pretty standard supernatural unsatisfied ghost horror film, it is elevated by good writing and family drama.
By also focusing on a family's battle with cancer and dealing with the alcohlism the story has more depth than others of this subgenre. Kyle Gallner delivers a good performance as the cancer ridden teen, and the setting and the visuals build a genuine sense of creepiness.
