Another mediocre scary movie.

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2013)

I had actually looked forward to this one, but this wasn't quite the successful scary movie. The tag line that goes with this one (''It's not the house...'') was even on the DVD-cover and is simply a spoiler, but oh - inspired by that Eddie Murphy bit (''Leave the house!'')?
Then, why Josh' mother waits so long to take action, when all the while she could have seen things coming... it's a mystery to me. And about the séance with the older woman: 'suddenly' Josh has the gift as well, so he was the best option to get Dalton out of the astral world in the first place - rendering the preceding séance rather useless. But hey, it's a way to get a film to clock 103 minutes.
And there were some more little questions I had about this and that, but I'd be perfectly able to turn a blind eye if a horror film is otherwise successful, i.e. bloody, atmospheric, scary and /or such, but honestly, I don't know what all (most of) the hubbub is about. One scene (in the astral world, with the toys) and those clumsy 'ghost busters' were rather okay, though.
All in all doable, just this once.
