Classic example of a hyped up film!

Rating: 2/10 (12 June 2011)

To my absolute dismay i went and paid full whack at the cinema to see this film - not only have i lost the 1 and a half hours off my life, I'm also heavily dented in my purse! I foolishly listened to some people who thought it was "really scary and worth it" and i also took note of the 7.7/10 rating on here...wow, some people really have no taste in horror, either that or they just have money to burn.
The film actually starts out quite promising, however it's very obvious that its made by the people from Paranormal Activity (another hyped up load of crap) The shots and even the set are very similar. It's starts off as a fairly modern horror: the usual loose character developments, the half attractive cast, the fairly unconvincing acting...however at this point i hadn't lost hope. Well, that certainly didn't last long.
There are a few decent scares in this film, however it soon becomes obvious that the director is just out to make the audience jump, the plot becomes ridiculous and the use of crescendos increases ten fold, really it's just good use of violins! The first half and the second half of the films are complete polar opposites. The second half takes a leaf out of Poltergeists book, the set of a Meatloaf video and I'm sure George Lucas will have something to say about the fact that Darth Maul shows up (really its supposed to be a demon...but the make up is pretty much the same) The scenes become totally ridiculous and totally ruin the work of the first 40 minutes of the film.
In a quick conclusion, this film is a bad copy of Poltergeist, certainly not worth a cinema viewing...the scares probably will not transfer well to DVD either. Save your money!
