Psycho-supernatural thriller about a man (Daniel Craig) who moves into his dream house with his wife and two young daughters only to discover that five years earlier it was the site of a multiple murder.  Derivitive nonsense, with characters who exist only to obfuscate the gimmicky plot.  Decorated with Naomi Watts as a concerned neighbor and Rachel Fox as her pretty teenage daughter.  The initial trailer, criticized for giving away at least one major plot point, actually had the right idea:  it's the misguided focus on mystery over character that really kills this film.
