While the story opens with a lot of emphasis on psychology, it takes a right turn towards paranormal activities pretty soon. It is a thriller, a ghost story, somewhat of a horror, and part who-done-it movie. A little bit predictable flow in the story at times, and a weak ending. Still, a good movie to be entertained by (and spooked by, a bit). My Rating: 6.5
