Newly divorced Rachel and her two daughters, Lizzie & Molly, move out of their cramped apartment to a spacious new house which is also much closer to Rachel's new work. Everything seems to go fine until Molly starts to see visions of a young girl, and when she tries to explain it to her mother, it gets dismissed as stress of the move and adjusting to a new house. When the strange goings on continue, Rachel decides to do some investigating and not before long she discovers that the house is harbouring a dark secret.
This is a made-for-TV movie and you can tell that as soon as you start watching it. Made-for-TV horror movies generally just do not work and this is a classic example of that as it is pretty dull, there's no real atmosphere, it is not at all scary or creepy, it's very clichéd & predictable, and the acting, while not that bad, is just very wooden.
In fact, it's very much like a "scary movie" for the young teens than anything else. Young teen girls at that, so anyone above the age of 13 and is of the male gender will find this movie to be pretty much a yawn-a-thon.
I wouldn't waste your time with this to be honest as there is much, much better movies out there.

Pretty Boring Made-For-TV "Horror"
Above average haunted house horror opus
Struggling single mom Rachel (a fine and credible performance by Jeri Ryan) and her two daughters move into an old house that turns out to be haunted by the ghost of a murdered girl (Jordan Trovillion sporting fairly creepy pasty Goth-type makeup and long lank hair).
Director Christopher Leitch relates the familiar, but still enjoyable and engrossing story at a steady pace, takes time to develop the characters, and presents a pleasing spooky atmosphere. The compact script by William Penick and Christopher Sey offers a neat twist about two thirds through in which the ghost gal proves to be not so innocent. Ryan makes for a sympathetic protagonist. Moreover, the sound acting by the capable cast keeps this TV movie humming: Kay Panabaker as spunky teen Lizzie, Keyton List as the sweet and sensitive Molly, Ian Kahn as the amiable uncle Marty, Marianne Jean-Baptiste as friendly and helpful medium Belle, and Sarab Kamoo as perky real estate agent Stella. Worth a watch.
