That makes it difficult for Grace to care for her kids, Anne (ALAKINA MANN) and Nicholas (JAMES BENTLEY), since they're allergic to bright light and could develop serious problems if exposed to sunlight.
Things seem to look up when a trio of workers - housekeeper Mrs. Mills (FIONNULA FLANAGAN), gardener/handyman Mr. Tuttle (ERIC SYKES), and Lydia (ELAINE CASSIDY), a mute nanny - show up at Grace's door. Since they previously worked at the house, Grace hires them under the condition that no door be opened before the last one behind it is closed and locked - to prevent the children from accidental exposure to sunlight - and that they understand that Anne is prone to making up all sorts of wild and crazy-sounding stories.
All's well for a while until Anne reports that other people are in the house with them and various odd noises and occurrences then lead Grace to believe that something paranormal is occurring in her home. From that point on, the creepy incidents begin to intensify until they lead to a startling revelation about the house and its former occupants.
There are a few violent scenes related to the supernatural material, a brief sensuous moment between a married couple (kissing/nuzzling on a bed), and some tense family moments. Beyond a few religious exclamations and the possibility that kids could get the notion to try to spook or scare their siblings, parents or friends, the rest of the film's categories have little or nothing in the way of major objectionable material.
Nevertheless, should you still be concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific information regarding what's present in and occurs during the picture.
