This could have been a good film. Some nicely creepy moments (despite the more than slightly done-to-death plotline), and the kid actor plays her part well.
Unfortunately, she's in the minority; rarely have I seen such atrocious acting. From the pouting, barely intelligible female lead to the incongruously cockney priest, things go rapidly on a downward slope from early on, taking the whole thing from promisingly spooky into the realms of the ridiculous, not to mention predictable.
If it had been slightly cringier it could almost have been a spoof, but sadly it stops short of that point, resulting in a flat, boring waste of time. Sorry.
