We're losing it again -contains spoilers-

Rating: 4/10 (22 January 2006)

I am afraid it does not live up to the expectations, at least for the following reasons:
1. excessive stress on the frightening bits: this is not supposed to be a magic/English version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre;
2. the pace is excruciatingly slow, especially in the frightening bits (representing at least 60% of the movie...);
3. some characters change and become a caricature of themselves (like, inter alia, Ron).
This is not the first time it happens: 1st HP, great, 2nd rather poor (strangely enough, for similar reasons, i.e. the attempt to make a horror movie out of it), 3rd picked up again, and now this lemon...
Back to the thinking hat, folks, and in a hurry, to prepare HP 5...
This movie is unnecessarily frightening for children and utterly boring for adults. Not recommended.
