If you liked The Others style of film then you'll like this film. Once you get over the subtitles it a good film with a good, but sad, story line. Not that scary but the characters in it are excellent and I would recommend seeing this film.
seen it all before

This film was supposed to be the most frightening film since The Shining. An episode of the Simpsons is scarier than this. It was so slow, with no real story, and apart from one scene when there is a surprise car accident, the rest was not interesting enough to keep us awake. My girlfriend who is scared very easily at the cinema found this to be boring too. It had nothing to do with the sub-titles, they were the best thing. Please don't pay money to see this film.
Excellent!!!
