Short description

Anna returns home from a psychiatric facility following the death of her mother. She discovers that her father, Steven, has become engaged to Rachel, a nurse who previously cared for her mother. Convinced by visits from her mother's ghost that Rachel has malicious intentions, Anna and her sister, Alex, investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding their mother's passing. The siblings struggle to warn their father about the newcomer, leading to a confrontation between the daughters and their stepmother.

This American horror film was directed by Charles Guard and Thomas Guard, marking the first project in their shared directorial chronology before Dead Shot. The movie features a cast including Emily Browning, Arielle Kebbel, David Strathairn, and Elizabeth Banks. Produced by companies such as DreamWorks Pictures and The Montecito Picture Company, the film earned 42 million USD at the worldwide box office.

Audience reception was moderately positive, with a rating of 6.3/10 from 89,000 votes on IMDb and 6.5/10 from 1,677 votes on TMDB. These scores are higher than the rating provided by film critics, who gave the movie a 4.6/10 based on 128 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, the film, like the original, was titled "The Story of Two Sisters".
  • According to the script, Emily Browning's character was supposed to be 14-15 years old, but the actress was older at the time of filming.
  • Emily Browning originally auditioned for the role of Alex.
  • Since the height difference between the two actresses turned out to be minimal, all possible camera tricks were used during filming to make Elizabeth Banks appear significantly taller than Emily Browning on screen.
