Pretty damn scary

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2011)

I am not one to be scared of horror movies; I really enjoy the horror movie genre, but there are very few that touch a nerve with me and make me feel a little nervous, but this was one of them.
I got it on the offchance and took it on the basis of reviews but I felt it was going to be one of those terrible movies like the other one where they run around the forest screaming...
When it first started, I felt that my instincts were right and the first thirty minutes of the movie were slow, laborious and pretty uninteresting.
As the movie went on, you felt for the woman in the movie but rolled your eyes at the guy; he was in all honesty a bit of a muppet and when they were in deep trouble the guy would more often than not reach for the camera rather then helping his partner.
As the plot unfolded, it became more creepy (the Grudge type creepy - Japanese not American) and then it became scary.
The final finale, was something that was quite unexpected and was pretty shocking. Even had nightmares about this and haven't had them because of horror films since my early years.
I would recommend this movie to people who like scary movies, but in particular about possession and demonology. Those who like the hack and slash genre, or zombie movies maybe this is not for you, or if you are easily scared - it is probably not for you either.
