Is that the devil with a red face.. or just the director?

Rating: 4/10 (12 December 2013)

I don't want to be too harsh on this movie but it really does just cover old ground... stuff we've seen so many times. It doesn't do it in a fresh way either, like some have said. Family moves into big old house. Kid gets possessed, doors open and close on their own. Ghost kids laughing and running around. Swirling violin music. A devil with a red face? Dolls and puppets. An old record player playing an old song. Cue old lady medium and ghostbuster sidekicks with ridiculous gadgets. Seriously? I love good horror films and this isn't one of them. Think of something original please. I have had to say that there are spoilers in here but the things I mention already spoil the movie. Well I was horrified. It's scary how unimaginative some directors and writers can be. Sad to say that this won't be the last film of it's kind.
