Haven't we seen this movie before...?

Rating: 3/10 (2 April 2011)

Oh wait, we have seen this movie before, about 50 times. Same predictable "scary" elements and two-dimensional plot, that I nearly fell asleep. OOoooo... there's a scary bumping sound in the house- go investigate it alone, in the dark. OOOoooo.... the creepy old psychic lady says your son is haunted, gosh that old lady sure has lost weight since Poltergeist. Oh wait, that's a different old lady, she's just playing the exact same role, I get it. Why does every family in every movie that involves a "haunting" insist on keeping as many lights turned off as possible? Is the midst of a Haunting problem really the best time to go green? Did the ghost trip a circuit breaker? Hey, your house may be haunted, your kid may be in danger, but don't bother turning on a light somewhere, naww.... just blunder around in the dark. Hey, maybe the ghost is afraid of the dark, right? Weak. Overdone. Predictable. Go rent 'Poltergeist' and enjoy yourself.
