Every aspect of this movie is well-done besides one key ingredient!

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2013)

This movie had the potential to be a great ghost movie. The set-ups were well-done, the acting was very well-done (especially the little girls), the cinematography was impressive, and the directing was impressive. But then you see the ghost and you see computer animation! Which is fine if done in a way that makes it feel real, but while watching this movie you are fully aware that this is a computer animated image, which takes away from the creepiness of a movie. Computer animated monsters don't scare people. If a villain looks human enough to not make the viewer aware of special effects, that is what makes people's minds escape into the movie and truly be scared. There have been many movies over the last few years that would have been great horror films had they spent more time making the villain look real. I don't understand why studios lately don't realize that this is why their horror films are failing at the box office...
