Lame...

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2009)

This movie was pointless. After reading all the hype, I decided that I HAD to see it. Who wasn't at least on-edge during the commercial? Well, this viral ad campaign worked and unfortunately resulted in 90 minutes I can never get back.
The acting is poor and the storyline is nearly absent (considering that not one development in the movie was ever expanded on). The Ouija board spelled some girl's name, all on its own, right before it lit on fire... "Awesome, let's stay another night!" Oh, I can't forget, let's also completely abandon this subplot five minutes later and NEVER bring it up again.
In the same way that many horror movies could have easily ended early with a 9mm, this couple could have left, or at least shut their door. Yet, the audience is under some vague impression that leaving won't help. Idea: Drive to a church, temple, psychic, exorcist – do something! One hour into the movie, the audience sees a few door slams. Really scary! At this point and up until the end, this couple is still sleeping with the door open. Why not close the door? Done, End of movie! There were a few creepy scenes that involved the main character, who was so memorable I can't recall her name, standing there for hours. Yep, she just stood there. It's just as lame as it sounds. Creepy, but lame. The humor was decent though. My favorite line: "Fine, go upstairs and hang out with your friend." Lame, don't waste your money.
