A great tension filling film

I absolutely loved this film, i read reviews and thought it wasn't going to be anything special and still bought it, and I'm glad i did! it had you on the edge of your seat all the way through, it was tension filling all the way through.

its about family after 2 tough years in Chicago, they move to a desolate sunflower farm. their search for a quiet life in the country is ruined when jess and her 2 year old brother start seeing nightmarish visions and no-one else believes them.jess must find out what is happening to her and what happened to the family what lived there before. she has to fight with things beyond the grave to save her family and prove shes not mad.

this is a spooky spine-chilling film. i recommend you see this movie
