One could say that this was worth watching just to hear Shawnee Smith sing, but that would not cover all of it.
It was a psychological horror film much in the manner of The Sixth Sense. Bobbie Phillips (Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain) does a great job of playing a sister who was sexually abused as a child and witnessed her mother's murder by the abuser. She keeps reliving the horror until she can rest in peace.
Larry Miller (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) was perfect as the sleaze-ball who befriended a woman just to get to her daughters. Typical sexual predator behavior.
Shawnee Smith was also great as the sister, but her role was minor compared to Phillips.
