Yes the Male actor is not great but the wife was very good indeed, especially to cry so convincingly . If you watch the whole thing the story was actually quite enjoyable.

This film was bad and good, eventhough th male character was not up to standered. This movie is ok. Would watch again because it is a good story. The girl who played Gwen should have an acting career because she was good.
Horrible.

The husband's voice is dubbed over, the wife can't even sigh convincingly but still does it a lot. I couldn't even stand to watch it to where the kid comes into it. If the adults are so terrible then the kid, no doubt, will be even worse. Who even thought it would be a good idea to present this as a finished film?
Bad

Let's Skip This Movie

Warning: Spoilers
It would appear that the formula for making this film was to;
A.) Add one sub-par storyline; B.) Mix in two lead actors who cannot act to save their lives; C.) Rush the storyline nonsensically.
If the aim of Richard S. Bellamy and Suha Al Khalifa was to create an unwatchable film, they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
The plot revolves around a couple's attempts to start a family. For undisclosed reasons, the wife, Ellie, (Clara Davies), is having fertility issues. She and husband Alex (Joe Rainbow) decide to adopt. Enter Charlie, the young lad that they take in.
Alex's father has died, and Alex and Claire move into the house. There is some dispute between Alex and his sister, as the original plan was to sell the house, and split the proceeds. By deciding to move in instead, Alex throws a monkey wrench into the plan to sell.
Problems further arise as there is the spirit of a little boy already in the house when Charlie arrives. Before Charlie arrives, the spirit of the little boy is fairly harmless, and even helpful. It soon becomes evident that the ghost boy is not happy about Charlie being brought into the house. There are minor mishaps that suggest that the ghost boy is displeased, and then Charlie, who had always been healthy, suddenly turns sickly with pneumonia. No one can figure out how Charlie has become so frail and weak after only three months in the house.
Bellamy and Khalifa decided that parents who bicker and turn on one another at the drop of a hat would make for good adoptive parents. Clara Davies at least seems like she may have been cast in a movie before. She's not good by any stretch of the imagination, but she shines like Meryl Streep alongside Joe Rainbow. The casting agent could have walked out into the street, grabbed someone... ANYONE... at random, and that choice would have been better than Joe Rainbow. Rainbow has the emotional range and acting chops of a clown that performs at children's parties, poorly. He may well be the worst male lead in the history of cinema.
I honestly can't say any more than what I've already posted here, because I stopped watching about halfway through the movie. If you're a masochist that enjoys the notion of ramming sharpened pencils through your eye sockets and into your brain, this may well be the movie for you.

The movie starts with a couple looking for a House apparently.
Then the hope to be mother is talking about IVF. The couple talks to a counselor about adoption. They are asked how they would feel about starting out with a 9 or 10 year old kid.
They come home to find their home has been entered....but not robbed apparently. They don't bother to call the cops. Wait what was that there was just some kid on the stairs when dude told girl that there was no one in there.
Anyways they bring this new boy home. Charlie. They play with Charlie. They read to Charlie. They tuck Charlie in at night.
Weird things start happening. Lotta Boring things.
Lotta Very Boring Things.
And so Charlie apparently has some imaginary friend named Sebastian. And of course we start seeing things move around the House.
Oh really? Now they're going to argue about dude not being a good father??
-1 Star for boring, lame plot.
Did something actually stop his hand from striking his wife???
Okay so now they actually show the manifestation of Sebastian in a replay of scenes. Ha.
Wow. What boring and mostly bad writing and acting.
-1 Star because the ending was bad to say the least.
3/10 and that's being generous.
