Young girls starts to hear voices from TV when there is nothing broadcasted. Things gets stranger and things starts to move on their house itself. Soon this young girl gets pulled away from our reality to another dimension and she gets trapped there. Her parents calls experts of unnatural events to help them to get their daughter back and they finally get her back. Creatures from another dimension does not seem to leave the family in peace until they get away from their home what was built on top of the old cemetary.
This was quite entertaining horror kind of movie, maybe it was a thriller, but it is not scary at all. It is well built to be entertaining movie but not built the way how horror movies should be built if those tries to be scary. Of course one reason why I did not find this scary can be because of its CGi what is not dated that well. Its CGI is more like a Ghostbusters style so it does not give a serious look for the film. Of course I am not sure if this movie even tries to be horror or just purely thriller.
Acting is good, story is ok and visually it was mostly ok if we ignore the not-so-well dated CGI. Story could have been developed more longer to build a tension, but all in all this is quite ok movie.
