This is not a horror movie. If you go into it expecting it to be, then yes, you would be disappointed on that aspect. However, what it is is a beautiful story about love, loss, and reconnecting. The lead actors did a great job portraying the gamut of emotions required of the story, and Sander Thomas was awesome as little Jacob. Don't listen to the naysayers here. I'd definitely recommend this movie!
I didn't expect it will turn to a drama from horror because its category was horror but this might be the best fantastic-drama movie I've ever seen in my life. it's making its way through smoothly and very gently for viewers to deliver the message. I'm really satisfied about that movie. made my day and left a permanent taste in my mind. Thanks for the feelings.
Wow, this was such a beautiful film! It reminded me in a way of 'A Ghost Story' (which I also absolutely loved). The acting was very good and it is beautifully filmed. Lee Pace in particular was very good as the father, Mark. The film has so much depth and emotion, it is just a very special film. Just to be clear, this film is sometimes labelled as a horror film. It is not. This is a fantasy drama. People who has just lost a child (or someone very dear to them) might want to steer clear of the film, as they're bound to reach for the tissue box more often than not. Despite all this emotion, though, the film also has some incredibly scary moments.
I loved the way the film ended. Although we knew what was coming, it was left to our imagination. Loved it. Great twist! Sad. Very sad.

This is a lovely, thoughtful movie about love, loss and forgiveness.
Beautifully filmed in a loving, slow paced way. It's a movie you just go into with no expectations and it finds a home within you.
Characterisations are well written and Sander Thomas is such a find as Jacob. Both Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are excellent in their respective roles.
I know that this is a movie I'll watch time and again. Subtle, soft and moving.

What a fantastic film this is, it has it all for a tear-jerker.
For a start, this is not a horror film; more of a ghost story and will most likely appeal to the ladies although I have to admit I found it a superb film and even though I am a guy I did shed a few tears myself and I am most definitely not a big girls blouse but this one got me big style (so be warned guys!).
The acting is first class; the pairing of the main characters and the little boy was absolutely perfect. A sparkling script that takes us from point to point and never becomes boring or trite but just adds layer upon layer of drama to the unfolding story of love and the miracle of life, the possibility of a hereafter and forgiveness.
If you have a gentle heart and are looking for a subtle tear-jerker of a movie and especially to watch as a couple then this will not disappoint in the least.
