A couple, with their three young children, have just moved in into a rented house. One of the sons accidentally falls. Inflicted with just minor bruises, he falls into a deep coma. The wife feels that there are otherworldly forces in the house; she sees demonic, physical manifestations of such forces. She convinces her husband to leave the 'haunted' house for a new one. They move to a new house. But these forces follow them. It seems that it's not the house that's haunted. Interesting premise.

And the movie gives a real scare. In this department, the movie is successful. But in the middle of the film, there's a lull such that you might be forgetting you're watching a horror film. The final scenes are really creepy.
