Good movie...kept you hanging on the edge but I think Jane is still suffering from memory loss or confusion. The massacre occurred on October 1985 but Jennifer's headstone said died June 8, 1986???

The film opens with a family being murdered except for young Jane (Peyton Kennedy) in a corner with a pocket knife. The film jumps 25 years later as older Jane (Abbie Cornish) has no memory of the event. She takes photos of farm houses. An accident causes a head injury and apparently she had a previous head injury. Some of her old memories come back while she loses others. Through circumstances Jane and her family end up in her childhood home as creepy things happen. There are butterfly fairies and the monster.The plot was not that tight. The scares were ineffective. There was nothing special about this me-too, I can't believe they went there, film. Jane was cardboard, a poorly scripted character. The film went out of its way to show us the family was killed on 10-10-1985. Then it shows us their headstone: June, 8 1986. They should have used that as the date instead. But as Ed Wood would say, "Who would notice?" Guide: 1 F-word. No sex or nudity.

I don't understand the poorer reviews of this film! It explores the idea of repressed memories, but is also a "ghost" type movie. I'm not normally a fan of movies with lot of supernatural material like ghosts, or of movies with eerie music or creepy themes, but this was a fantastic movie. The acting was superb and the story kept me thoroughly engrossed. I will watch this again in the future, I'm sure.

Why does Abbie Cornish over-enunciate every single word in this film? Very annoying. And she's also overly styled and made-up in her role. Less make up and a more worn out and 'haunted' look would've made her character and what she's going through more believable and real. This could have been such an awesome movie with a well written script plus a stronger lead. The dialogues were awkward, at best. Just, no!But, I did like the setting and the houses, a perfect set-up for a great thriller but again it failed in so many ways: from writing to directing to the whole execution of the film. I was also surprised to see Justin Long in this type of role and film as well. If you're studying film then watch this to learn how Not to do a film. Otherwise stay away. Yikes.
