I think the last one I watched was The Haunting in Connecticut, which was very good. The movie spent so much effort in developing the characters and their plight that it seemed less like a ghost story and more like a dramatic film. I think the cop-out ending hurt the film, though. It would've been a much stronger film with a more lasting impact if they'd let the story conclude in the more obvious way.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
