Enough with the false scares already!

Rating: 5/10 (18 October 2009)

I'm about two thirds of the way through watching this film, and I must say it's really annoying me how the director constantly relies on the technique of using scary music and odd camera angles to build false tension. Then, just when you think something really scary is going to happen, it turns out to be a false alarm.
There's a word for this cinematic technique, I forget what it is. Regardless, it's a cheap substitute for using actual story elements to build real tension, and this movie has used up all of my good will by relying on it every couple of minutes.
I'm going to watch the rest right now, and something really spectacular will need to happen in order for me to feel good about having watched.
