An average movie

Honestly, beforehand, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick. Indeed, according to one of my dearest Listal friend, it was one of the best horror movies he had ever seen (and he has seen a whole bunch of those) but according to Roger Ebert, it was actually really bad and rather worthless. Well, eventually, I thought it was not bad at all. Above all, I enjoyed the fact that they kept many things in the dark, even towards the end, and that's something always appreciated. Something pretty awesome also happened while watching this flick. Personally, I thought it was pretty spooky but nothing I couldn't handle but my step-daughter brought her then boyfriend and this guy honestly really completely freaked out... I mean, the guy was huge, almost 2 meters, and yet at least twice during the movie, he screamed as if he saw some ghost and (literally) jumped behind the couch. My step-daughter was terribly embarrassed but I thought it was just awesome and I had a blast. Unfortunately, even if he got scared sh*tless, it wasn't really the case for me though. Furthermore, when you think about it, there was honestly not much going on during the whole movie and that was definitely its weakest point. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was not really flawless or really mind-blowing, it was still an original and interesting horror movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

6/10
