In 1988, two young sisters encounter an invisible entity haunting their home. Although it appears friendly, it turns hostile, tormenting the young girls and their family.
Even the third time around it’s surprisingly effective, it’s impossible to deny when it works it’s incredibly creepy, but it is essentially the same trick we’ve seen twice before.
It’s a great little gimmick, capturing that corner-of-the-eye sensation of being watched, and the film is the best-shot – if the least scary – of the series.
