Good plot, interesting development, disappointing ending

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2013)

While I found the plot interesting, the scare-factor was a big disappointment. Without the sound effects, the movie wouldn't have been at all scary. Maybe a little thrilling, but not scary. The demon looked like a well-made Halloween costume; the doll-faced ghosts weren't even a little bit realistic (and don't look like they could have been people once upon a time) and the ending was nothing but predictable.
I did enjoy the plot though, and also the actors (everyone but the boy). There were no terrible special effects (which is a big plus in my book). I found the plot development refreshing (this time the characters actually moved out when they got scared, contrary to most other characters in most other movies who very frustratingly stick around until they get themselves killed).
But long before the end I already knew what was about to happen and to whom. Sadly, I find most horror-movie endings disappointing and this one was no exception. It would have been so much more refreshing if things had gone well, if there had been a happy ending!
