As in most bad horror flicks, intimations of unspeakable evil are supposed to distract us from the yawning gaps in story logic and character motivation.

Rotten
A plodding, portentous horror thriller in which a spooky child figures prominently and people speak in hushed tones about sinister doings.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten
We know that the house is haunted, because the family who's just moved in has to deal with the lights always flickering out. They should have called the movie The Fuse Box Horror.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
Plot elements exist for their own sake, with little or no explanation or relationship to each other, leaving the story such a muddle that it's hard to tell if the actors are doing their jobs.
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
Should have been left to molder in Miramax's vast vault of horror-movie stiffs.
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
