While the story is somewhat similar to the original, there's a bunch of differences with this version. There's a couple of neat ideas in it like turning the house into a psychiatric institute and the supernatural being real in this version. I also like how the movie included institution devices like a electroshock therapy and a saturation chamber. And the atmosphere does pretty good job with the suspense this movie have. Unfortunately the movie is pretty predictable with it being some parts are taken from the original and a couple of scenes feels like it's dragging a little bit too long. The effects are mostly mix in this remake of the movie. I really like the set pieces inside the psychiatric institute which looks both creepy and really well made. And there's a couple of pretty good practical effects in the movie. Unfortunately the CGI looks really outdated and the entity doesn't look creepy at all.
