yep... i couldn't sleep

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2010)

i have to give this film 9/10, because it did what i expect of an effective horror film... it scared me a lot in a quiet way, no real BIG scare tactics... apart from the bed dragging scene..... it genuinely spooked me, it also frustrated me quite a lot.. here's my only negatives on the film..... The pig headed behaviour of the boyfriend, why on earth they hadn't got the demonologist in asap?? even the first few nights spawned enough video evidence for any sane person to run screaming for professional help..as this couple seemed so isolated during all this terror... yes we had the token friend, but surely no one would want to be suffering this virtually alone.... if you can count the stupidity of the "I'm so tough" boyfriend... he clearly had no respect for her past or for the dangers in meddling with spiritual paraphernalia such as a ouija board... might as well just send mr demon an open invitation... I also couldn't fathom out how they actually slept at all and WITHOUT A LIGHT ON!!! I only watched the darn film and I had to have the landing light on all night.. yes I'm a big sissy girl. its one of those films where you just know you would do things so differently.. but that's a good indication because i'm theorising and keeping the film alive.. I was very relieved to discover there is no factual background to this film as my pig husband told me, as he slept like a baby all night... thank god for the internet.... to finish, this film will bore certain people,in the same way a slasher movie makes me yawn.... but for others, like myself, it will scare the bejesus out of us and yes give us that sleepless night... a successful horror film...
