This movie isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and features some good acting by Dakota Fanning and Robert DeNiro. After the suicide death of her mother, DeNiro decides to take his daughter from New York City to a big house secluded in the woods Upstate, probably not the best thing to do (and he's a psychologist!). They meet some of their neighbors, Elisabeth Shue (BACK TO THE FUTURE II and III, HOLLOW MAN) becomes an unlikely love-interest for DeNiro (How OLD is DeNiro now? Late sixties?) and it seems like Fanning is a 'BAD SEED' type kid. While the surprise ending wasn't all that surprising once you start watching the movie, it turns out to be something not supernatural at all.
