Scary if you are 10 years old

Rating: 3/10 (9 May 2013)

I am not a horror genre fan I admit, but I do enjoy them from time to time, but this film is an example of what is wrong with the Genre now. Remakes of classics, with nothing new to add, why take the step at all if the step is backward? The same old lazy horror clichés, for example, the mirrored bathroom cabinet opened, and when the door is shut, the reflection has changed, and why do Hollywood now think that the scariest image we can cunjure is a girl with long black hair covering her face in a nightie? Any tension built in the film was because I was getting annoyed by the characters doing the same horror film mistakes 'go on, get back down in the cellar, the thing wont get you this time!' I found myself laughing at the parts which were meant to be the most disturbing, probably because the director is treating the viewer in the lowest regard, by simply making the film as gory as possible, throwing as much fake blood around as they could lay their money grabbing hands on, and not really bothering to think of any original ideas.
Avoid this film, or watch it if you want, what do I care?
