...a workable premise that's employed to progressively tedious and downright interminable effect...

Impressive set design can't quite justify an otherwise choppy, sloppily penned rehash of what could have been an interesting revisit of Castle's penchant for shlocky shocks.

Shalhoub is well suited to portray Arthur, a lost widower trying to deal with his pain while taking care of his children.

While the film isn't entirely noteworthy, it solidifies its place among the corny movies from the early 2000's. Cyrus' haunted house is a work of art, and ultimately adds a memorable piece of real estate in the horror genre's spooky neighborhood.
