Short description

The Bowen family moves to a new home after Eric loses his job, settling into a house that soon shows signs of an otherworldly presence. Strange events multiply, and the youngest daughter, Madison, vanishes. With nowhere else to turn, her parents and siblings seek help from a parapsychologist and a television host who specializes in haunted houses, hoping to bring her back.

Directed by Gil Kenan, this 2015 horror film is a reworking of the 1982 movie of the same name. It sits third in Kenan's filmography, between City of Ember and A Boy Called Christmas. David Lindsay-Abaire wrote the screenplay, and Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Roy Lee produced. The cast includes Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt as the parents, with Jared Harris as Carrigan Burke, alongside Saxon Sharbino, Kyle Catlett and Kennedi Clements as the children. It runs 93 minutes.

Made for 35 million dollars, the film took in 96 million worldwide. Audiences rated it 4.9 out of 10 on IMDb across 64,000 votes and 5.2 out of 10 on TMDB from over two thousand votes, in line with the critics' rating of 4.8 out of 10 from 133 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Rosemary DeWitt wanted to star in this film after seeing the audience's reaction to 'The Conjuring' (James Wan, 2013), the premiere of which she attended because her husband, Ron Livingston, starred in it.
  • Before the film was released in theaters, many of the costumes and props used in it were sold to a fan from England.
  • At the end of the film, when the family comes to look at the new house, a sticker can be seen on the car – “Hooper High Baseball”. This is likely a reference to Tobe Hooper – the director of the original film.
