She purchases the house, with plans to turn it into a home for disabled children. Everything seems to be going well for Laura, her husband Carlos (Cayo) and their son Simón (Príncep). However, the parents soon realize their son has an imaginary friend and horror begins to unfold.
The film is directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, produced by the Spanish production company Rodar y Rodar, co-produced by Telecinco and presented by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro.

The film was nominated for 14 Goya Awards, including Best Picture. It won seven.
In 2007, New Line Cinema bought the rights to produce an English-language remake.

昨天这部戏新上映，我和两位小妹去观赏了。我一向都不看恐怖片，因为我很胆小 ^_^ 。当我提议去看这部电影时，两位小妹都用很奇怪的眼神看着我说：“你是不是真的哦？受了什么刺激呢？”哈哈哈，我想看看自己有没有进步了嘛。看这些恐怖片会不会大叫罢了。

其实很多时候都是被那些sound effect吓到而已，也不是真得很恐怖。但是每当被吓到时，我都会大叫连带的也吓到旁边的观众。到了戏的后半段时，我多半是用双手遮着眼睛，从手缝中看电影。

电影散场后，小妹告诉我：“刚才你大叫时，隔壁的人在笑你呢。” 这部电影其实是不恐怖的，最主要是要述说一名母亲要寻回在有幽灵屋里失踪的孩子。
