Keeps you interested for a disappointment.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was very interesting i'll give it that, but when it comes down to the main plot it gets very confusing, then when you think you understand what's going on you just get another twist. So going by what I put together I am going to try to explain the holes in this story.

From the "House Owner", the only way to leave is for one family to stay, but the daughter of one family was able to get out of the.., lets say "dimension", by walking away from the house backwards( She also sings a nursery rhyme about the house while doing so, but it was never discussed if you had to say it or not) after thinking I understood this story there was a few side stories going own with the families making you think this is happening for a reason.

These stories though seem worthless when you try to put it all together once you get to the ending. There is a girl who has had her tongue cut off for unknown reasons, it is then known that she is from another family who was stuck in the house dimension just like the on-going family, yet the movie has you guessing she's a big part of the plot. The son in a family ran over a girl who was jogging being scared he left her for dead, later in the movie it is shown and pointed to the women who was ran over was somehow related to the "House Owner", and also the Father of a family bought the property of the house hinting that both families have done something wrong to the original owners of the house, and this was some ghostly revenge.

All of that is thrown away from the fact that the girl with no tongue was just from a recent family who was stuck in the house, and towards the ending the daughter of a family is left alive and is found by another family who's the next victims of the haunted house putting her in the shoes of the girl with no tongue when she was found on the road, but this is the kicker, it is revealed that the "House Owner" was the one who cuts off the girl's tongue because in the last scene the daughter had her tongue cut off for the fact she can't tell the new victims what's happening.

Taking all this in you realize it's just a cycle that happens to unlucky families looking for a new home making all the sub-plots basically filler and makes you angry for trying to put all of this together.

Don't get me wrong it's a good movie, but there's just too many holes.
