Possibly the scariest film I've seen in my life

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2009)

This film is quite possibly the scariest film I have yet to see in my life.
There are a lot of people on IMDb that will say it wasn't scary, or that it is over-hyped. It's all in the eye of the viewer. Some one may say "how can someone find a door moving on its own scary?" or "how can someone find random footsteps in baby powder scary?" Well - I suppose why this film scared me is because it just felt very real. Sure some of the stuff the characters said or did weren't things I would particularly do if I was in this situation - however, why did I find "the door moving on its own" scary? Maybe because the door was moving on its own! If I was having issues with someone possibly haunting me, and I saw my door moving on its own when I knew there could be no possible way for it to do so - then yeah I'd be pretty freaking scared.
I think some people don't understand subtle scares anymore, we have become so used to gore and forced horror that when a gem like this comes along you either appreciate it or don't.
This movie genuinely frightened me, not because of what was shown - more because of what wasn't shown, what wasn't answered, and the silence and suspense between the quick moments of fright. That's what made this movie so scary, and so great to enjoy.
