Victim Of The Haunt (aka The Uninvited) (1996)

After having given birth to a stillborn baby, a woman (Sharon Lawrence) suffers from depression. She and her husband (Beau Bridges) and two children (Alex D. Linz, Emily Bridges) move to a new home in the suburbs to start a new life. But when bizarre supernatural occurrences happen, no one believes her and her husband suspects she's having a breakdown. Directed by Larry Shaw, this is such a blatant ripoff of POLTERGEIST (1982), I'm shocked that it wasn't slapped with a plagiarism lawsuit. If POLTERGEIST had never existed, this might have been a decent telefilm instead of an inferior uncredited remake. The writing is weak and the characters are burdened with mundane dialogue: for example, when Bridges hears his son screaming for help behind a locked door, he asks "Are you alright, is everything okay?". The special effects are very good so the film doesn't skimp in that department. With Shirley Knight (who has been inexplicably saddled with a horrible black wig) as a psychic who comes to the aid of the family, Lawrence Pressman and Kathleen Lloyd.
