I usually think low voters are just there to bash anything but...

Rating: 3/10 (19 June 2011)

I regret to say this time I was totally wrong. The movie starts fine and that's why I give it 3 stars. The beginning is quite similar to Paranormal Activity coupled with a quite saddening family drama. If I had to judge from the first 20-25 minutes, this was going to be a great horror movie. The potential is very promising.
Sadly that's where things end being any good. The story turns into a cheap fest of loud noises to try and scare people with the BANG!!! since they cannot scare people with the images and story. The ghosts are laughable, and I mean it literally, you DO laugh when you see them. Special mention to Darth Maul, who is depicted as a quite harmless character which can at most crawl at your back and say 'boo!'. He doesn't feel like a threat and his physical appearance is plain lame.
Special mention in the comedy section to the ghostbuster couple and the medium and her gas mask.
Regarding the reviews, for once, as I said in the title, I have to admit I agree with people giving it a very low score. They are not just being douches and scoring it low to feel special. It is really that bad. People giving it high scores... I can admit a certain % of the population liking it, if they are easily scared and watch it for a dose of seat jumps... but the amount of high scores is so big I can't but feel a bit suspicious about the source of those reviews. Considering there is little to no control to check if reviews are legit or just spammed by advertisers, in this case it seems quite obvious to me something sneaky is going on.
In a word, the movie is _bad_. Very bad. Paranormal Activity 1 & 2 are light years ahead of this movie.
