Mostly a waste of a movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2010)

I've begun to question the pathetically weak perceptions of people being "terrified" of this "brilliant" movie. The reason this even got so much attention, was because of an experimental marketing technique of making people in each state 'vote' to have the movie viewable in their state. Those who believe in the "horror" of this movie lower my faith on humanity.
In retrospect, I was talked into watching the movie by a friend as compliance with it being her birthday. I had never heard anything about it beforehand, either. The only thing that made the movie worthwhile, is the comedic quality of the audience. Other than the laughs they gave me, this movie was a waste of a part of my life I would much rather have spent doing other things.
Spoiler warning (if there is one). The movie was completely pathetic with all of its "scary" moments. "OMG!!! MY KEYS ARE ON THE FLOOR AND NOT THE COUNTER!" "OMG!!! THE DOOR SWUNG MENACINGLY!" "OMG!!! BABY POWDER FOOTPRINTS!". The movie had two good scenes: When Katie gets dragged out of bed (which is anti-dramatized by the demon doing nearly the whole thing in slow motion) and when Katie throws Mica's body at the camera at the end. By including those two scenes and a little bit of other material, you could create a 10-15 minute video that has the same effect and would actually be better, because people wouldn't get so ticked off about the movie wasting their life, the pathetic quality of the movie's horror, and the feeling of hopelessness that builds up in us as we are brought aware of all the antsy 10-year-olds who were scared by the movie.
