Watch The Cradle For Free

Very Cool!!!

Admirable film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Blistering performances.

A very good ghost story!! It's great to see a film of this caliber in the modern era of a sea of horrible horror movies. This one blew me away - a very unnerving/unsettling atmosphere from the beginning of it.The ending made sense to me - I won't give the spoiler away. It's one of those films where in the end they show you a copulation of all the clues that you missed while watching, the answer as to watch you just watched! If you like a good "quiet"/subtle type of horror movie combined with a good vengeful spirit then this is a film for you! I thoroughly enjoyed it - and would love a copy of it in my film library!! It's worth watching a few times to me.9/10

Really awful... Have enjoyed watching Mr. Haas grow from child star to mature actor. His normal 'underplaying' normally works fine. His superb work in "johns" should have earned him some mainstream acclaim... but Oscar did not focus.Almost all of the previous reviews mirror my feelings regarding this film. Cinematography is excellent, but completely wasted on a poor script. I think I could have written it better.I am watching the film as I write this - maybe 80 minutes in - and I will be switching channels now...Sorry... but due warning this masterwork is a waste of time.

This is the worst movie ever to be put to film. Long, boring, the only thing terrifying about this movie was the two hours of my life I wasted watching it. The acting is sub par and annoying. The length of this movie coupled with the boring pace will have you on edge, but not in a good way, no, in a way that makes you wish you never heard of this film. I am the kind of person that loves all horror films, from the grade A top shelf, to the Z grade schlock. This movie is not a horror film, it is a psycho drama that starts bad and ends even worse. This movie has no redeeming qualities. If you value the horror film genre or movies in general stay away from this load of horse manure. I was a firm believer that all movies, even bad movies, have redeeming and enjoyable qualities....until I saw this movie.

OK so after watching this movie and being completely clueless and confused about what really happened I came up with this..Everything you saw before frank finding Sam "dead" Then when frank leaned over and the baby started to breath that was franks imagination it never happened through out the rest of this movie the baby was actually dead but frank though he was alive..Now when you see Julie crying in the corner say that Sam stopped breathing and she ran but came back also was franks imagination when Julie ran after finding Sam dead in the cradle that is when she fell off the waterfall and died..Frank was hallucinated through the rest of the movie so he wouldn't have the deal with the grief of losing them both..you see when he drops his flashlight that it shines in Julie's face it was trying to show him that she's dead same with the stick in her arm and her face being bloody.now as for the ghost in the nursery that was Julie trying to show frank that the baby was dead. the dreams he was having of the baby dying in the washing machine and the stove were dreams that's it.. that crazy lady that lived next door her whole purpose of the movie was basically to show frank at the end that Sam was dead she said he was dead for days..i didn't really see why they brought up Helen's sister being buried alive i don't believe she was haunting them it had no relevance to the movie what so ever cause when frank is in the kitchen and there is a face in the window that face of Julie after she died...the ending shows when it all comes together and makes sense to frank that everything that happened in the last few days was part of his imagination and not real so in conclusion everything that happened after finding Sam unconscious in the cradle was all in franks head
