Not scary, funny at times, lame storyline

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2011)

5.5/10
Darn, this movie was not scary. I read into all the good reviews here and was biting my nails as the movie began. I was so tensed and stressed out even before it began. I watch horror movies all the time. With regards to this movie, if you are 8 years old you will be scared no doubt, but not for adults. And I even saw a bunch of 8 yr olds walk into the theater and then I knew something wasn't right. It was more like taking your kids to the carnival to see some scary looking clowns. My husband and I were bored half way through, we just wanted it to be over. The script started out pretty well but the writer went overboard. In this day and age no soul would believe the things which the folks in this movie believed. There's got to be a decent scientific explanation to everything, you can't just close your eyes and vanish into the 'Further'.
