Falls flat

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2012)

Some things in this movie were so well done. The ghosts at times could be very terrifying not just in making the viewer jump, but also just scary to look at. The main characters are really well developed and all have their own personality. Unfortunately, the plot bores the viewer to death in the second half. I was incredibly disappointed in the direction this movie took and I felt like from second half on I really had no interest but for the movie to end. It's a shame, because the first half really had some scary moments and it was gradually scarier and scarier. What I enjoyed about the scary scenes was that I felt as if they had more substance than most movies. They were not the enjoyable but cheap thrills of the Paranormal Activity series but rather strong visually and psychologically. Though I will never understand why the movie took a turn for the worse, I do think the movie is still worth seeing and it is perhaps someone else's cup of tea more than it is mine.
