I love Emma Roberts, but this movie was awful. The story is underdeveloped. Why did her character wear and sleep in the exact same outfit and not shower for a week or more? Was that supposed to depict her decent into madness? Then she would wake up the next day looking normal, but always wearing the same clothes and makeup. Her husband never noticed or helped her shower. Even when she finally took a bath, she put back on the same dress. Why didn't she tell her husband that the neighbor was the little boy and that was his childhood home? What did the ghost Dad do to the kids and his wife? Was the ghost Dad raping his wife? Did he chop them up w an axe? What happened to the ghost kids in the attic and why did nobody else in town know they ever existed or went missing? Why were those windows nailed shut? Did she just imagine all those ghosts or did they just stop haunting her when she finally found love for her baby son? Did she destroy and take the stuff in the house bc she was going crazy or was that the ghost? Besides paper towels w flies on them, what was that under the couch and why did she just leave it there? So she never told the husband about all the ghost, the neighbors secret or the kids in the attic or secret room??? What was the point of showing the son growing up and then suddenly she was changing outfits? Lastly, how were they always cooking meals w only eggs and breast milk in the fridge? What was she surviving off of? None of this story makes sense. It's almost like they edited whole scenes out that would explain these things. As the credits began to roll, I kept saying "what? What happened?"
