Simply not scary. Not bad either though

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2017)

The absolute best I can say about this is that it's average. I honestly don't understand all the good reviews and high IMDb rating: it's really not scary. Creepy, yes, but not scary. It started out exceptionally well, but really went downhill from there. The constant throwing of jump scares at the viewers really wears down the scare factor of the movie. I will honestly say the only time I was legitimately scared was toward the very end of the movie, but even then it was only really a moderate scare, lasting a second.
Other than that, I didn't find it scary at all. In fact, some scenes actually made me laugh, which I don't exactly think was the intended point of those scenes. Maybe it's the overuse of the CG, or the overuse of the jump scares (or maybe the jump scares are just low quality) but this wasn't terrifying at all really. As for the rest of the movie's scenes, it seemed very jumbled. I won't say I was bored, or that the story was bad, because it was good, it was just...average. Not bad, but not good.
The ending seemed to be saying that there would be a second movie, but I really don't have high hopes for it. Not if it goes on the same path as this one.
