This strange supernatural thriller (released by DISNEY no less) boasts some great atmospheric tension and suspense. But the last scene makes no sense and the final resolution for the mystery is not satisfying in the slightest. Bette Davis doesn't necessarily seepwalk through the movie and Lynn-Holly Johnson is trying as the lead.

Kid friendly horror from Disney. It has all of those Disney qualities that play great to a younger audience, while also trying to be legitimately scary. The blend works in parts. The director managed some good scare scenes amidst a classic spooky atmosphere. The film sustains this aesthetic almost through it's entirety. The mystery plot is involving, despite our main kids not being the best actors. It's forgivable.

Highly campy, this movie was pretty bland, disneyfied, and predictable all the way up until the end, which was... weird. I guess the weirdness was born of the disney-need to have a happy ending in a story that was really not set up to end very happily.
