James Wann and Oren Peli make a great team

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2011)

I first of all saw the trailer of this at the movies when seeing another movie. The trailer definitely caught my attention. But then I saw it was by the makers of the first Saw and Paranormal Activity (which I'm a huge fan of both of those films) and thought this I definitely got to see.
I went to see it and came out extremely impressed.
The story was original and captivating. It has mix of Poltergeist and Paranormal Activity. I was nearly disappointed when the story mentioned about possession because it has been used so many times. But when I found it's more than that with the boy's ability, it immediately grabbed me.
Very interesting use of lighting effects which made the scenes even more tense.
The acting was great and very convincing and made it easier to connect well with the characters.
The soundtrack really gave me the creeps. It even freaked me out on the opening titles. Even during when the scare scenes built up more and more, I even tried to find a way to break the silence by moving in my chair or even making a slight cough.
Through out this film, you really had to look all over the settings when the scare scenes because you just notice things nearly at the last minute, like it did with Paranormal.
The special effects were great. There wasn't much but it use appropriately when it was needed For horror fans like me, this is definitely for you. Trust me, you won't be wasting you're money.
