Unlike Paranormal Activity, this has the twist of scepticism about the supernatural, and carries it through whilst letting doubt remain. The heavy-duty cast is largely wasted, though - there is no need to drag in Weaver or De Niro for perfunctory roles, and they don't have to do anything except go through the motions. Cillian Murphy takes centre stage, largely just because of his vulnerable face.
The element of uncertainty raises it a notch, but the ending is a cop-out and disappoints on several levels. A waste of time for all concerned.
