Some Good Scares...

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2013)

I watched this film for the first time recently after hearing good things. I had previously viewed Sinister and was told that Insidious was a similar type of scary. Although the film has some great scream and goose bump inducing moments I felt that the second half and specifically the climax were lacking. The film started off presenting the viewer with some genuinely scary imagery and moments but into the later parts of the film it began to become, in my opinion, silly. (Minor Spoilers Follow) In the climax of the film, I thought the "Netherworld" sequence was not very scary and actually took some of the fear away from the movie. The fire faced entity was more laughable than scary. The Final scene of the movie offered a good twist but could not make up for what was a disappointing climax to the film. I hope the upcoming sequel can improve upon this ones mistakes. P.S. If you are looking for a very scary film that is also very good then I would recommend Sinister. Enjoy
