This movie is excellent! The movie begins with a somewhat normal family who have just moved into a new house. The little girl, Molly, sees the tree swing in the backyard is swinging by itself. She begins talking to her imaginary playmate and acts like this playmate, Candace, is really there. Creepy! Had me hooked from the beginning. The suspense of why things are happening and how these things are related to the family in the story is wonderfully done. The little girl, Molly, is one of the best little actresses I've seen in a while. She makes her character seem so real when she sees the imaginary playmate and how she acts scared. I believe the fact that the little girl's birth mother had passed away and her dad had remarried added to the storyline. The little girl never called her step mother "mommy" so when that happens Suzanne (step mother), even though she's figured out earlier that Candace was a real little girl that had died, knows something isn't right. This movie is very well written and the actors are excellent. It was definitely one I would've had to see had it been in theaters.
