Well, what can I say. I waited and waited and waited to see this film, following copius amounts of reviews from colleagues and friends, who all (might I add) said it was "creepy", "scary" and "messed up".For those who dont know me I am a BIG fan of paranormal reality shows, such as Ghost Adventures, Most Haunted, Ghost Hunters and My Ghost Story and have a very big interest in the paranormal. After sitting through films such Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 (1 is better!), which I thought was quite realistic, shocking and most importantly diverse compared to every other Hollywood slasher movie, at last I had found a film that would at least scare me equally or more than the above.
Well, first of all the film is enjoyable and at times quite freaky, but I felt personally felt it got a bit stupid towards the end. What starts out as a film about a boy that is haunted by a various evil demons, who show themselves in various scary ways, quickly turns into a film about ghosts who look like the extras from Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. I felt the end was a tad bit rushed and turned into a B-grade/SyFy type horror movie in the end.
Regardless of this I did enjoy the film and did let out a little wee at some of the jumpy scary parts. I feel that the hype made this film less than I was expecting. I give this a 7/10.
