Quite appealing B movie
It's by no means an A-list kind of film. However the story is creative and twisty enough that my daughter loved it when she was younger and and still enjoys it now that she's a tween. One of those unexpected discoveries where the story sticks with you. Of course she loves spooky tales, antiques, mysteries, and relationship drama, that's important.

The voiceover is terrible but my kids (12 & 10) still liked it
The voiceover is terrible but my kids (12 & 10) still liked it. They enjoyed the mystery, the action and suspense and it wasn't too scary to keep them up at night. It was a clean family movie once you look past the mis-matched mouths/voices.

I really like the movies where the kids rule, and this one was a very well done investigator type adventure.

A fun family movie full of mystery and suspense
I found this to be an engaging and captivating family movie that held my attention from beginning to end. I believe both preteens and adults will enjoy the suspense and mystery as Victor tries to piece together all the clues to the untimely death of a young girl forty years earlier. The plot quickly builds as Victor and his family moves into his uncle's house, and the boy begins to realize there is some mystery concealed within the house waiting to be solved, although no one will listen to or believe him. There actually is more than one mystery to be resolved, and you will find them a challenge to figure out before Victor does. The tension and suspense build throughout the story as the boy begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together and realizes he's not the only one looking for the answers. Yes, as other reviewers have already pointed out, the actors' voices are dubbed, but I did not find it badly done or to be a distraction at all as some have stated.
