Full of inappropriate cuts and unmotivated acting

Rating: 4/10 (30 May 2013)

As most of Wan's films this film is annoying me with two things. The cuts, which almost are all ruining the rhythm of the film, and are very unmotivated and incoherent. And the superficial acting. It's difficult to believe in the story when the acting becomes so-so. It's not the actors fault, because they are all good, and have proved the self a lot of times. So then again, it comes down to the instructor, or director, if you wish.
The movie is a good try, and gives a couple of good scares, but is made very unbelievable and therefore uninteresting. This is done so much better earlier on in other films, so you have to watch this before the others if you are to have a good experience with it.
The strangest thing is that when watching the film, you really think you have seen it before.you wonder if you have seen the film earlier. You haven't. It's just copying. Even Ghostbuster's are recognized here.
The film also has trouble in being serious. Another reason for it no to function. When people at scared, it looks like they are action, and then it becomes unwillingly funny.
I haven't been too fond of the film I've seen by James Wan. They are all lacking believability and heart. They are just to caricatured to me. Death Sentence, Saw (though it was the first and best) and Stygian. They are all overrated due to this. I certainly want more from my films than this, and I'm actually afraid he'll mess up Fast & Furious 7.
