Ok, now this is one flick I have to see! Sadly it only had a limited run in the area here, playing at one theatre half way across the city! So, I'll have to wait for the DVD. Seemingly, quiet the ghost tale indeed!

A woman brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend.
Finally saw this last night and must say it's an interesting film, though felt alittle let down with the hype I've had since it played the TTIF back in September. Still, it's a very well structured film in it's story and characters coupled with the atmosphere. There was just something missing, maybe I was expecting more chills from this...not sure. Anyone else had the pleasure of seeing this at all?
steve....i got more of a positive reaction from this one
thats as good a first time effort ive ever seen......i dont now how much help he had from del toro but i felt utterly absorbed by it
strongly developed central character....downright creepy atmosphere.......beautiful visuals and editing{no hint of music vidio background here}
