James Wan and Leigh Whannel are the best thing that happened to this genre!

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2011)

First of all, movie was fantastic. It's been a really long time that i saw a movie this scary. Totally worth your money and your time.
James Wan and Leigh Whannel simply knows how to create the atmosphere. We saw that ability in the first installment of "Saw". Leigh is a very good writer and James Wan simply knows to make that script come alive.
Nowadays, horror movies are all about bad scripts, bad acting and lots of special effects. And of course there are movies like "Paranormal Activity" done with low budget and wants to scare us with their so- called realism.
This movie is also like the old horror movies. Especially the music sounds like very old like "The Exorcist" and stuff, but i really liked it. Sound effects were really god, for example, the "BAM!" effect not comes with the scary visual, James Wan wants to take your time to see it for yourself, than he hits the sound effects and take the scene to a whole new level.
First hour of the film is really slow, but it's also good to create the atmosphere and get to know our characters. Second hour is the best. It's like an unstoppable mind-blowing scary movie.
I think that James Wan and Leigh Whannel keeps this genre alive. They respect the works of Wes Crawen, John Carpenter and all the other masters. Also they are very aware of what they're doing, and they're aware of the power they have.
So, they're coming to scare and surprise us once again. It's not a thriller like "Saw" but it's not a empty teen horror movie either. It's a good horror flick that worth seeing.
