Review
I went to see this on the opening day with five other friends and to say the least we had a blast! The story is simple but very interesting at the same time. It has the structure of a standard horror film but a few unique twists and turns help mould it into something greater than that. The jumps are brilliantly executed and the film does well to create a creepy atmosphere that's sure to scareplease most horror fans! The actors do what is required of them and help flow the movie along from point ab. I just felt the film was so involving it really brought you into the situation and you honestly were scared at certain points. I'm really unaffected by horror films but this along with "The Exorcist" are one of the few films that have to a certain extent unsettled me. I'm sure there are better horror films out there but certainly not any from this year. To sum it up the scare level is on par with insidious but the story is far superior and intriguing. For some it may be a little slow in starting up but the reasoning for this is simple this movie actually has a decent plot compared to other horrors and the slow start is required.
There was actually a girl sitting next to me whom I did not know but she was laughing away to herself and her friends saying that the film was...Sh*t. Well let me tell you when that first big jump came I don't think I have ever seen someone actually make air in a chair before. The rest of the films duration saw her hiding behind her hands jumping like clockwork and concluded with her saying "That was the scariest film I have ever seen!" The point being give this movie a chance because it will pay off in the end!
This is my second review on here and I'm only 17 so I hope it helps you in some way. See this film if you love eerie horror with great jumps and suspense!
