Director: Scott Stewart. Review: Mark Appleton. The producers of Paranormal Activity, Insidious and Sinister are back doing what they do best, a spooky horror film based around a young suburban family. Mr & Mrs Barrett live in a suburban street, in a suburban house and have two small children. On the face of it all is well but behind the scenes things aren’t that rosy since Daniel Barrett (played by Josh Hamilton) lost his job and is struggling to get a new one. Lacy Barrett (Keri Russell) works as an estate agent but isn’t bringing in enough to cover all the bills. The elder of the two sons Jesse (Dakota Goyo) tells his little brother Sam (Kadan Rockett) ghost stories at night via walkie-talkies. Unsurprisingly this gives Sam nightmares about the subject of the story, ‘The Sandman’. This all leads up to strange events that start happening to the family at nights.
