Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
MJB784 I really loved how it flipped the haunted house concept where it isn't the house specifically that's haunted, but the demons from the other world. It was a real "BOO!!" fest, where characters were appearing and disappearing throughout the house. A good old fashioned horror movie like The Others or Poltergeist.
hearthstoneivan 7.6/10 A bit of a repetitive bore, until it embraces its delightful goofiness. There is a certain amount of relief, when you find out that the movie is not taking itself too seriously, and it allows wonkyness to work in its favor. Aside from the magnetic Lin Shaye, the enthusiasm of the actors seems to reach only the pointy ends of a dollar bill, which is neither offensive nor surprising. Plenty of fun jump scares likely to cause popcorn explosions and otherworldly scenarios riding the fine line of enjoyable ridiculousness will keep you entertained.
Tokana Hennequin Thrillers these days leave a lot to be desired and aren't very memorable, mostly because of the acting, which, in turn is made horrible because of the script. Considering this, I went into this movie with low expectations (despite going onto IMDB to gather the overall score and skipping the reviews). But...The film was brilliantly written and cast really well! It was suspenseful with low lighting (brilliant) and had me jumping out of my seat at every turn, if not turning my volume down! If you like a good and truly scary movie, then this is it!I can't wait to see the sequel, though sequels are generally known to be worse than the original. But I will give it a go and see how I like it (I'm expecting big things from it, so it'd better no disappoint!)
sjalkarjadottir I got to see this movie just recently on BR at a video night with friends. All of them had already seen it but were up to see it again... so i guess for them there was value in a 2nd viewing.Now, the positive - i liked the characters .. even the kids, a rare thing. There was actually good chemistry and a good storyline somewhere... the movie itself felt quite "by the numbers" though. There were jump scares, but not too many or too annoying ones .. little shaky cam and overall a suspenseful atmosphere .. quite appreciated.There is not much i outstanding i can say about this movie, but also nothing dreadful. It was a good time that did not disappoint. But was it scary? .. Maybe i am a bit numb for those horror movies (i am more affected by suspense and "strangeness" than outright scares) .. so no.. it was not scary .. at all. But i do not feel scared by "demons" or "ghosts" at all.I can recommend this movie for a video night as a "filler" .. but not as a main feature.
