7.7 for THIS? The trailer was better than the move itself!

Rating: 2/10 (28 June 2018)

I am not sure that people who are giving this movie 9 and 10 have even seen another decent horror movie. I was deceived by the good reviews and the decent trailer It started off pretty well, first few scenes were great, had good expectations. After that it was a snooze fest for more than an hour. Comparing it with "The Shining", " The Omen" and "Exorcist" among others is utterly laughable. Great horror movies make you care about the characters, this is where the horror lies. In this movie I did not really care for a single person. The father was meek and weak. Anne was a complete psycho from the start, Peter was underdeveloped, the little brat was the worst. I kept expecting the ending to salvage some of the merits of the movie, but it was actually even more ridiculous and nonsensical. This was badly written, badly edited, badly presented. People weren't scared, they were bored and left dissapointed. The only decent horror I've seen so far this year is "A Silent Place". Don't waste your money on this mediocre piece.
