The acting is pretty top notch and there are a couple of jump scares. However the story makes zero sense, there's a lot of red herrings along the way, and as the viewer we are left in the dark when the credits rolled.
It's pretty obvious that Chloe and Justin are siblings, as evidenced by the fact that the young girl had blonde hair and that as an adult Chloe was close to Justin without being overtly sexual. But all of that aside, I didn't understand why Justin and Chloe were hell bent on having Val live in their childhood house. Wouldn't the siblings want to escape their traumatic childhood memories?
Also the music box and the "Angel Baby" book that kept popping up were meaningless. And it's clear the house is haunted, but what is this ghost's (of the murdered father's) intention other than creeping up on people when they sleep? It seems like as the movie went on, the haunted story diminished and the movie pivoted into a slasher tale.
The whole business with the sheriff, bartender, and the Good Samaritan neighbor didn't add to the story. This movie wasn't worth the time, it seemed rushed.
Plot summary
A loving wife and her husband move away to a remote cabin to heal from the devastating loss of their stillborn twins. Soon she senses an evil presence and is pushed to the edge when dark secrets begin to unravel.

I was utterly confused
Oh You Didn't Know???
Oh Yes! Rebecca De Mornay give me some Risky Business!!!!
So a couple goes on a retreat to a cabin in the woods! As we all know, nothing bad ever happens at a cabin in the woods! There is no safer place to be than in a cabin in the woods!!! Plus, this really saves on a movie's budget since you don't need to have a lot of extras and face it, filming in the city is expensive!
Of course early on we get a rule breaker, -1 Star for a bathtub scene with no nudity shown. We don't like that. It's so unnecessary.
Then Rebecca shows up. Wow this movie is halfway over and nothing has happened -1 Star.
LAter on there is a sex scene, until of course the demon or whatever reveals. And again, no nudity. Another rule broken -1 Star
So when is the horror supposed to start here?
Okay so there's a fight at the end that is somewhat entertaining. But the end is not good enough for a star.
2/10.
Absolute garbage
Horrible acting, stupid characters. Who gave the "doctor" her medical degree? And more importantly,who in their right mind would use her as a doctor? Also as a wife,it would have taken me 10 minutes to tell her to get the hell out of my house! Then the husband and "doctor" go to town and the wife wants to go but the husbands response is "you need rest" and the wife just stays???? WTH? She obviously and rightfully didn't trust the woman. Nothing ever really happens, nothing is explained. The book isn't explained,the jewelry box isn't explained. Total waste of time. Not really sure what else to say except skip it, unless of course you need a good nap!
