So good, then, so mediocre

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2011)

The first half of the movie was quite good. It was actually much better than I was expecting, and much scarier, and usually I don't find movies scary. It was almost perfect. There are only two things(things?) that I didn't enjoy. Firstly was the comedic approach of the investigators, they just seemed out of place in this movie. It was not the writing or the acting, just that in the context of the movie up to that point it didn't work for me. Next,...the last 30 minutes(roughly) was just not very good. If any movie could benefit from special effects this was it. I'm trying not to give too much away here, it's hard to, blah, too late,...astrological body...the further(this was a great concept)(could have been a great title too, a little cliché perhaps yeah, but then again the movie became so cliché when it entered the further)...back to the point...It would have been so much better to have the scenes in 'the further' less, idk...earthly, if the people didn't look like people, if it was not set in an earthly environment(a house). And the costumes, especially the fire face, omg, looked like darth maul to me, lmao; The whole movie just fell apart for me in the last half hour, very disappointing, because it started off so well. All in all, worth watching, I did enjoy it. It had potential to be a classic, a great, but ended up being just good, just descent.
