I'm not quite sure where all the rest of the comments are coming from?! Maybe there are some people who don't notice poor scriptwriting and shoddy acting.
To begin with, the actors are wooden and cheesy. Prunella Scales does a good job, but the main character is played by a guy who just has little acting skill. Its all smiles and politeness from a teenager.
I think if you're sitting down as a family with 5-8 year olds, they MAY, (emphasis on MAY) get spooked out... once or twice. But you could see everything coming. The language/dialect/speech was so false. It just really felt written. As if this was perhaps written by a university student learning the ropes of scriptwriting.
A good movie should feel natural, and all of this movie felt acted. There are enough clichés in this film to fill your trick & treat bag 10 fold! Its a shame, because I've never felt I've disliked a movie so much to write a comment, but I actually felt the need to register just for this one! If you want a good comedy-ghost movie-parody, you're in for a treat. If you're looking for a good family scary movie, there are about 100+ better ones out there to chose from!
