first of all this movie was good untill realised what it was all about there was no ghost it was the girls spirit rising from her and it was tring to make her see that her father molested her while she was sleeping but she was slapped about a bit before she realised it her mother was shown what happened by the spirit so she gave her daughter somthing to kill him then it was over so i asume her spirit went back into her in the end
