In director Robert Zemeckis' supernatural mystery, a wife comes to believe her renovated lakehouse is haunted by the ghost of a blonde, green-eyed female, probably a former locksmith given the incredible number of times we see doors swing open by paranormal force, and it is all dopey fun that doesn't warrant too much thought except when all is said and done and the protracted denouement is over (having made very elaborate use of only momentarily spotted paralysed laboratory mice and a bridge in a mobile reception blackspot), viewers who do stop to think twice about what has occurred will recognise the irrelevance of the first hour of the movie, the sheer number of unnecessary characters, and an ennui that pervades the performances, probably a result of the actors being involved in so much redundant nonsense.
★★★☆☆
