Well done

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2018)

I'd like to address points made by others who rated this movie poorly.
1) it's not scary enough. The thing is, there is no threshold set in stone that a horror movie needs to reach. If a scene that's supposed to be horrifying is hilarious, or if a Ring movie isn't scary, then yeah, this criticism is warranted. But a movie like this will be as scary as the writers and directors allow it to be.
2) beings weren't explained. This is not required, and revealing the ghost often has an anticlimactic effect.
3) it's not revolutionary. That shouldn't be required of any movie to be well received.
4) no symbolism. Again, this isn't required. Were you expecting the second coming of Jesus?
5) not enough gore, as if that is a good metric...
This is the first time I have seriously scoured the review section of imdb and I have to say, many of you make life unduly difficult for yourselves.
