A horror movie worth watching

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2013)

I have no clue why IMDb has this at a 6.3 rating; or why IMDb has the new Evil Dead at 6.something rating. You shouldn't watch movies like these, if you don't like horror. This is a good horror movie (so was Evil Dead). Horror fans will like this.
The basic aspect of the story is kind of cool, but the twists are really amazing. I actually would have enjoyed having the doctor guy's secretive involvement panned out more.
We all know that it is the story of a ghost raising two children who were lost and abandoned in the woods; then they are found and rescued, and the ghost mother follows them and kills, hurts, or haunts, the people around the children. But the way that the human characters learn about the what the being is, and how they confront it in a way, and interact with it, is really good.
It wasn't the best movie of all time, but it was definitely worth watching. One of the better horror films to come out in the last few years. I would give this a 9, because it really was that good, but there were a few cheap scares in this movie - you know everything is quiet and then SCREECH as something comes into the camera frame. I really dislike that when its done for that reason alone, rather than having it represent how the characters realistically would feel and interact (like when the boyfriend wakes up in the dorm room, in that movie Exorcism of Emily Rose :)
