The Attic.
This movie is the perfect example of having a bad director or people in charge that have no clue what they are doing. The movie starts off on a good horror note with a bathtub scene featuring Alexandra Daddario. She's going to be in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. Also, I still haven't seen Bereavement yet but I want to just from one of her promo photos. Anyway, it's a pretty good haunted house moment.
Then things start going downhill. We get a new family and so many plot lines that it seems like the movie was made by different people. The parents have to be borderline incompetent to allow what happens. There is a scene that seems completely out of continuity and I can't believe it was even in the movie. Add in a twist ending that makes no sense and you get a movie with a good idea that is ruined by a lack of clear direction. The actors are not at fault for this mess as they probably did the best they could with a bad script.
One of the best moments in the movie is some horrible dialog at the end. Yet another new family arrives at the house. When a pretty blonde girl is freaked out, she says "maybe it was an Indian burial ground."
