Trivia:
With one exception, all the shots with Renée Zellweger being close to and around fire are real (practical effects). The one CG-enhanced shot is the wide angle of her sitting passively on the couch while the room was burning around her. This was shot twice: Once with her and no fire and once with fire and no Renée.

I wish I could give this stinker even less than one as a review. Absolutely godawful dreck. Rene Zellwinger pouts her way through a tired plot, the mystery is solved within the first five minutes, and the only thing that ever remains creepy is the fantastic performance of the little girl's mother.
There's nothing worse than watching a movie and knowing exactly where it's going wrong. The idea wasn't bad, and there was so much more that could have done with it had the writers and director had more courage. As it was, it limps along like a barely B grade horror flick that is well past its expiry date. Don't bother with this one.
