The Downs family move to Salem so that Wayne can start his new job as the town Sheriff.
They move in to an old house that has a macabre history, witches were hanged there in the 1600's.
There's an urban legend that a family were killed in the same house years earlier.
After a while the Downs family discover that there's more to the legend and to the house than the towns people are letting on..
So it's half Amityville, and half the Shining, it's nowhere as good as either of those movies, but also it's nowhere as near as bad as what the critics are saying.
It's rarely scary, and the film does consist of the lead actor (who looks like a bargain Viggo Mortensen) running around the house trying to get away from all the bad acting and the constant vomiting of his daughter.
Obviously she is ill so weird thins happen to her, and then she becomes evil, but it will look like the Sheriff will get the blame, because all the sheriffs who live in that house turn evil.
Maybe the Mayor (who looks like a bargain basement Jeffrey Wright) should have changed the locale.
So all in all, it's not scary, baseball bat sounds are out of synch, and the village idiot has a stutter.
I've seen worse, not many though.
