I really don't understand all the hoopla over this film being so wonderful. It is a slow moving picture, in a lot of scenes it is very obvious to me that Nicole Kidman is acting, i.e., she was not convincing, and the film didn't frighten me at all! One good thing is the fact that the film maker didn't use gory scenes throughout the picture which is a plus, even though a weak one! The stars that stand out the most in this film are Fionnula Flanagan, playing the housekeeper/nanny, in a very good performance, and the daughter played by Alakina Mann. The set designs, costumes, and cinematography were good too, but the story didn't do much for me until the ending, and even that wasn't that much of a surprise to me!
