Why that jump scare is the greatest ever is not just because of the shock and perfect timing of execution, because it’s a legitimate emotional plot device: Nell haunts them bangs the door or screams in physical form to stop them from fighting.

Kate Siegel's speech hits so close to home for me. The desperation to feel something, anything. Depression makes people do crazy things just to cope with that thorough nothingness.

It was dangerous for Steve not because he wrote bad things in his book, but it was the fact that all the other siblings saw the ghost and were afraid to move ahead all their life, but Steve did not have any ghost experience in the house, because he saw them and he felt they were real people. He was manipulated by the house easily. This is the reason that house is the most dangerous place for Steve.
