Your Imagination Will Run Wild. (but not in a fun way!)

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2009)

ALL of the reviews on here are phenomenal and I agree with them 100%! This movie was intensely terrifying! I can't say that I am one to watch and enjoy scary movies; in fact, I had ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE was this movie was about and I do believe that my boyfriend partly "tricked" me into seeing it because he didn't tell me what it was really about. I didn't exactly inquired either - but "paranormal" made me think of E.T and alien stuff. So that I can handle. MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.
I was on the edge of my seat as things progressed. The credibility was amazing, its craft was great - clichÃ© just in the fact that you have a typical stubborn GUY and a scared GIRL (legit, since she had dealt with this kind of "stuff" before) But that's part of the overall effect. Her "transformation" is awesome, and she really is a great (natural) actress.
It's been a week almost and I still have trouble sleeping. I'm usually never the one to wake up during the night. But now, if I do, forget it. I can't get back to sleep. It's just the type of movie that messes with your head in such a way. I loved the fact that even KNOWING that it was all left to my very own imagination isn't helping, ha ha - I was still scared, although I am telling myself to consciously not be! It takes over your whole being - without any violent, bloody, gory scenes. We are just conditioned to believe that in middle/upper-class suburbia, to a twenty-something year old couple - these kind of things are just NOT supposed to happen. It hits close to home. The shock value is tied in with its environment and its unbelievable relatedness.
So, there! I am a non horror/scary movie lover, yet I am recommending this to everyone! You will love if that much more if you are into scary movies and you will have a better understanding and appreciation for them if you aren't.
