Destined to be a Horror Classic. Deeply Disturbing.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2009)

To be quite honest, some of the opinions claiming this film to be dull or awful are quite frankly laughable. I believe this to be one of the most terrifying films ever made. I would easily put it in my top 5 horrors with the likes of The Exorcist, The Shining and Blairwitch Project. I usually wouldn't bother myself to write a review but just reading some of the reviews with people giving the film a one star, started to grate on me very incessantly. Are you lot the same imbeciles that rate mindless, gory dross like Saw and Hostel as scary??? I know the U.S. isn't renowned for having the most intelligent of people habituating in it, but to call this film funny?Dull?A scam? For Christ sake, exercise your imaginations. We don't always have to be told when to jump, when to be scared. The terror in this film often lies in the Hitchcock-esquire fashion in which we the film subtly weaves many chilling suggestions into our unconscious. Is the thing really whispering her name in that terrifying voice? Were the footprints really shaped to suggest that we are dealing with an unimaginable monster? Why was she staring at him at the end of her bed for hours?How long had this thing possessed her?What is it we are dealing with here, if it isn't a spirit of a dead human? Where did it come from? I think like many, the film really sunk in to how disturbing it was, when you would lay awake for nights afterwards pondering some of the aforementioned questions. People try to claim that this film is marketing driven genius. There wasn't any marketing for this film. The film grew more infamous since 2007 from word of mouth. People who are literate and have half an imagination are the people rating this film highly.
I would highly recommend this to most people. Destined to be a horror classic. However, not recommended for brainless, moronic, fans of 'Dude, Where's my car?', 'American Pie 6', and 'Saw 7'. If you are the latter, please continue stuffing your hot dogs and popcorn and stick to movies that don't involve the use of any thought processes whatsoever. Thanks.
