Take a woman, who lives in an old house where children have died, with an adopted son who sees dead people and subsequently disappears. Then, have her go on a wild goose chase (unsuccessfully) for him.
Flash forward a few months later, where she becomes convinced the house is haunted. She hires a medium who fills in some additional details. Then leave her alone to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Twist the plot in the end, and then twist the plot again to obtain an anti-happy ending.
Make sure it's in Spanish, and have Guillermo Del Toro to produce/present it for you for added cred.
Voila! You got yourself a critically acclaimed horror movie.
You can be quite certain that the English version remake will not be as critically acclaimed, because all American horror movies with haunted houses and twist endings are so passé, right?
Unless it's in Spanish.
