Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Norman (Harrison Ford) seem to have a perfect life together in their beautiful home on the lake. It’s revealed that Claire has only recently recovered from a serious car accident, which might explain why she begins reporting strange occurrences around the house. Norman encourages her to seek professional help, hoping it will ease her growing sense of unease and what he perceives as paranoia. When her friend Jody (Diana Scarwid) experiments with a Ouija board, Claire becomes certain that the vacant property next door is haunted—but by whom? What’s the connection between this spectral woman she keeps seeing and hearing, and her own family? Robert Zemeckis begins the film in a genuinely unsettling way; the visuals are frightening and impactful. The absence of excessive or comical special effects initially contributes to an atmosphere of dread that holds up reasonably well for about the first hour. Unfortunately, the movie’s momentum fades, and the plot becomes muddled. The final thirty minutes feel convoluted, with multiple attempts at a resolution, and when it finally does end, I found the entire story rather unbelievable and disappointing. Harrison Ford seems unengaged in his role; he's much more compelling when given parts that let him showcase his charm and personality. Here, his character feels lifeless—sometimes overly sincere, other times simply hard to believe. The film’s name implies a greater level of suspense than this standard horror thriller actually provides.
