not THAT great

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 2009)

That's what I get for believing the hype. Yes, it was a good movie, but not much more. Having watched movies for 40 years, I can think of others that disturbed me more. The most disturbing part was what the characters DIDN'T do when they had evidence. No one would react the way they did. If you had video evidence of a presence in your house, wouldn't you tell just about everyone? If you bore the marks of being attacked by an invisible presence, wouldn't you have them checked out? If you were one of the few friends that they did tell, would you really let them stay in that house another two weeks? If you were the girl and your boyfriend lied to you as much as this guy did, would you still stay with him? I was glad to see a movie acknowledge the existence of demons, however.
Finally, the ending was cheesier than my nachos. It's worth a watch, but I have seen better and scarier.
