If you love things that go bump in the night (I don't!), then this movie is for you. Be prepared to spend a sleepless night or two though :-)
A family moves into a new home. As they go about the business of settling down, the eldest of the 3 kids falls off a ladder in the attic (where else!). The next morning, his dad discovers, to his horror, that the kid has slipped into a coma. The doctors are unable to find any reason for this despite doing numerous tests. And so after a few months the kid is brought back home where the mother takes over the responsibility of caring for him. Just as she is juggling his care with that of her youngest child, a daughter who is not even a toddler, she starts noticing weird happenings in the home. At first, the husband refuses to believe (do they ever?) that the place is haunted but gives in later on and moves the family to a different home.
The wife gets the shock of her life when she realizes that whatever was haunting the earlier home has moved along with them. Her mother-in-law brings in a friend, a paranormal investigator, to help sort out the matters. What she tells turns the family's world upside down. The paranormal investigator reveals that their kid is not in a coma but separated from his physical body because during the course of his astral projections at night he has traveled very far from it. The dark spirits are circling his empty body in an attempt to possess it to be able to live once again. And then she delivers a shocker - it seems that the kid has inherited his ability from his dad and the dad will have to make a journey to what the investigator calls 'The Further' to get his son's soul back.
Spacious houses with their creepy attics and basements aren't one of my favorite places on earth. This movie has only confirmed my belief that they serve as the rent-free accommodation for the spirits. :-) Jokes apart, the movie manages to give you more than your fair share of scares - especially during the scenes when the wife notices something running about the house and decides to follow it. The only funny thing in this movie is the mask that the investigator wears while guiding the lost spirit of the boy home. :-)
