Vapid, boring, lackluster acting, not scary...I want my 90 minutes back!

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2010)

I should have probably turned this off halfway through. It reminds me of Blair Witch Project, except it wasn't as interesting. The acting doesn't create any kind of suspense. The scene with the door is reminiscent of The Haunting, sort of if the original Haunting was devoid of decent acting. This reminds me why I don't like people in San Diego. I live here and the people remind me of the vapid sort of person who is so afraid of the supernatural. The Ouija board they had was laughable. It looked like they put a motor of a remote control car into it and though it was filmed, they didn't talk much about it after that. It's funny that they would even have to call LA for a psychic, there are plenty of ones in San Diego. And really once the guy gets there, he wimps out and just leaves them to their fate.
It was like watching a bad reality TV show. All the "scares" have been used in countless B movies before and I think I was only amused by the ending, because I couldn't figure out what hit the camera. By then, I'd been wanting to turn it off for an hour and didn't really care if the characters lived or died or what. Whatever, as Micah would say, this sucks. That's San Diego speak for "My girlfriend's been possessed, bro!" I guess because of the lack of acting, it didn't seem realistic, like people were acting like they weren't acting. If you watch ghost hunting shows on basic cable or real horror films, nothing in this will freak you out.
I am hoping my boyfriend doesn't want to view this because I don't want to watch it again. It moved very slow (and I am used to watching stuff like David Lynch so slow can be OK with me if it is done right), the characters were lame and unbelievable and there wasn't much plot, really and no real scare until the last minute, which might have been better experienced in a dark theater. It probably doesn't help it along that it is one of those "could it be real?" movies like Blair Witch Project, but BWP did it ten years ago and much better.
