I guess it all made sense in the rolling credits at the end that Adam Sandler had his hand in this piece of junk movie. The whole movie plays out like a very bad Nickelodeon after school special. I think the movie could of been rated "G" if it wasn't for a few fake karate kicks. My 6 year old thought it was even crap. Take a decent movie and make a dumb sequel. That's what Hollywood loves to do, and they did it again with this terrible movie. Adam Sandler is a has been and should never put his hands on anything. This is another one of his failures, I wish he would go back to SNL and sing the lunch lady song again. At least he couldn't mess that up. I even watched the whole movie hoping that it would get better seeing that I waited so long for it to come out on Bluray. Rent it and be disappointed, don't buy it and feel regret. 1 * is being generous.

When it started out I was like, "Oh I loved this movie when I was a kid." Well they ruined what could of been a great remake. Let me start with the terrible acting. Through the whole movie you would think they had 30 seconds to read the script and then made the rest up. The movie moves way to quick, and if you look away for a second, like in the opening scene with the movie title, you may miss something. Not that it would really matter. The movie just feels like anxiety, sounds crazy right? I had to check my glass and make sure I wasn't drinking liquor because it was moving faster than my brain could allow me to process what was actually going on. OK enough on that. Lets remake the remake and make it 30 minutes longer, change the actors because the mom totally sucks, the dad is constantly trying to be a comedian, and the 3 kids, well I guess 2 because the oldest isn't considered a kid even though she is like 14, but yeah. Get real actors, give them the script for more than 3 minutes and lets try this again. I actually had to quit watching the movie 3/4 of the way through and make an account on IMDb just to vent my frustrations out on you, the poor sap that is going to tragically sit through this piece of junk movie. And about 3/4 of the way through you are going to say, wow WTF is going on here. Why is this movie trying to jump to the end and hit the eject button. Unless the tree already hit it for you. Spoiler*** Big giant tree is alive!! So here is my closing statement. The movie blows. Could of been great with the right actors, cut the comedy: HELLO it's a thriller movie!!! And make it a full 2 hours and build up to the suspense. Nobody cares about an out of work John Deer Salesman or his, "Can't write a book wife." And don't start a haunted house before they sign the deed to the house. cmon people. And put some thought into making a really great movie remake great again. FYI If you are planting flowers in a newly built houses border, you are not going to find people bones 3 inches under the dirt. WTF. really. And wasn't the original movie house built on an old Indian burial ground? But in the movie at a dinner part some guy says, "at least your house wasn't built on an old Indian burial ground." WOW. Sorry I am so TO'd but I was really hoping for more. What a let down this was to poor old me. I guess I will go jump inside of my TV. Later Gator.
