Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

grantss OK, but not great. Started well - the mystery and suspense was gradually increased and the plot promised much. However, the director then started to overdo the scares. The story got more confusing and nonsensical, and simply degenerated into scare-a-minute stuff.I never find Martin Donovan's acting convincing and this movie reinforced that view. Virginia Madsen's performance was good, however. Kyle Gallner did a reasonable job as the haunted kid.

TheNihalGursoyOfficial This movie is an average when compared to other horror movies due to a slight difference. The difference is that it is based on a true story and it is given to the viewer to decide whether to believe it or not. So if you want to get scared and think that true stories are the right factor then grab a bowl of snacks and enjoy the ride!It should also be noted that the main character of the movie is also different in that he is suffering from cancer. Usually horror movies do not deal with this sort of extra qualities in their main character. So if you're looking for an originality in this movie I have listed all that original it can get. There is nothing more to the movie if you are a horror fan.So enjoy the Cliché!

Theo Robertson Someone decides to make a true life story ( Yeah sure it is ) horror movie about a haunted house where undead demons live and who for someone unknown reason decide to scare the crap out of a poor put upon family . I wonder how the director will approach the story ? No let me guess . Long tracking shot of house with scary music being played in the background ? EXT. DAY . Camera Pans Towards House . Scary Music Is Heard Wow such a pity lottery jackpot numbers aren't so easy to predict . The chances of ever winning the lottery jackpot are just as likely as anything seen in this story . Did anyone say this was based on true events ? Then allow me to repeat - yeah sure it is From the outset no horror cliché is left unturned and director Peter Cornwell apes the clichés to the hilt . Sharp " blink and you'll miss it " editing giving the feeling you're watching a MTV ident , murky cinematography and loud noises giving you the impression you're watching yet another mediocre horror movie that any hack director can make in his sleep .

indurain This is a mediocre haunted house/demon possession film. It does have some good jump scares and the ghoul effects are well done. However, it suffers from the same haunted house cliché that many others in this type of genre have succumbed to: once the residents of the house figure out something is really wrong, instead of showing their backside to the house on their way out of town, they stay.This is no more evident than in this film. They are renting the house, in fact they got the first month free. There's no reason to stay. Strange stuff is going on, the entire family is freaked out, their son with cancer is obviously suffering from a mental breakdown, and their answer is to call some type of exorcist/paranormal investigator to see if he can get rid of the ghosts in a house that's not even theirs. Why even bother?Sorry but that killed the film for me. Obviously if they did leave, we wouldn't have a movie, but since this is "based on a true story", whoever the people the story is based on must be the biggest idiots in the world.
