 Hey, i wonder whether anyone can help. When i was younger (about 10 years back) syfy used to give a horror film all the time but i dont remember what it was called at all and its bugging me because i wana watch it!!

Okay so theres a family theres about 3 girls and 1 boy maybe and then the parents. The mom stays at home an looks after the kids and strange things start happening like the shower turned on itself, plates would smash, tv's would randomly turn on, somethin happened to the little girl aswell but i dont remember what it was. Oh and the mom gets thrown into the air while sleeping and she could hear voices coming from her pillow!

They live next door to the moms mom and she has things happen in her house too like black shadows appear in the corner of the room

They move away finally and they think they're starting fresh but the ghost follows them to the new house and continues haunting them..

Thats all i remember from the film, does anyone know what im on about lol?

Some of it sounds like the first "Poltergeist".

It does sound like Poltergeist, doesn't it!  There's not many 'family haunting' stories for that time - late 1990's ?

I found two on IMDb - the most relevant being -

1)  "The Haunted"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102007/synopsis

(although there are a couple of others called 'The Haunted' this one is the only one with a family and which mentions a mother-in-law etc)  (on that page, above the red box - if you click on the 'discuss' tab, and then click on the 'main details' in the middle colum, it will show you the actors, etc) 

2)  "Bell Witch Haunting"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433341/

(period film)


   GOOD LUCK !

I reckon Lexa has got it with her first pick. Is it just me who keeps reading the family name as "Smurf"?
