A film that tried hard but didn't quite make it

Rating: 4/10 (29 July 2018)

Before i watched the film i saw, teh trailer, which hyped it up for me, being reminiscent of films i'd seen recently such as insidious, But sadly i don't thin kthis film did it. my first problem with the film was the spirits, for a supernatural psychological film of this nature, using human like spirits, just doesn't really work, the first scene of a spirit, was an old women in a white nightie or whatever walking into the scene, i understand the premise that i looks like someone you may know, but that scene, didn't evoke any emotions in me, and the whole premise of a curse passed on by sex, is too common in horror films now days, so to make an entire film based around that premise i can't see much room for originality, as an avid horror film, fan this film was too predictable, and it left nothing to the imagination, and the scenes at the pool made no sense, the setting up of furniture, made no sense, and the fight scene, it was more resemblant of a scene of domestic violence, than that of a fight between a human and a non human form, i liked the deliberate exclusion pf jumpscares, in preference of building tension, but that never happened, as well as this the emotion didn't seem as genuine, the scenes of drama could have been over exaggerated, it would make sense that a few stupid decisions be made, but no, and so the film seemingly just went on and on, not really changing in complexity or story, i personally like films that make you think, this was too predictable and in the end i stopped watching the film ten minutes before the end of the film due to boredom.
