You won't be scared, but at least you'll be deaf!

Rating: 2/10 (29 May 2009)

Are you afraid of shadows and loud noises? Well, then this movie is for you! Every 5-7 minutes you can be sure that everything will slow down to a crawl, the music will fade out, and then SURPRISE...there is a 140db blast of sound and a close-up of a shadow or an old woman's face, or maybe a handkerchief. Terrifying! I hate to sit here and be completely negative, but I don't know what else to say. The dialogue is awful, the effects are terrible, the last 20 minutes are actually painful to watch because the ending is so obvious, and the movie seems to never be able to decide if it wants to be scary or funny. I love the Evil Dead movies, but this movie is actually embarrassing in comparison. I gave it 2 stars because the opening scene was pretty good, but it's all downhill after that.
