CommentsThemes in this movie are complex and could disturb young viewers. The mother of two daughters is killed in a car crash and the one daughter feels guilty and hallucinates that she ''sees'' her mom often. Also has a lot of nightmares often. There's a sense of menace and unease that permeates this movie.
