Unexpectedly dull movie for the modern times

Rating: 3/10 (27 October 2014)

Granted, this movie might be of a lot of artistic value, with all the cinematography amongst other things, and also it might have scared a lot of people in the older generations. But I don't see any reason why this movie should be rated 1st amongst the Horror movie genre top 10 in contemporary times. Imagine an average Joe who wants to spend his precious weekend day watching a good horror flick with his girlfriend to get to cosying up. He would expect the no. 1 in horror genres on IMDb to be pretty scary to say the least.
Not only did this movie failed to "horrify" the both of us, we did not find this much of an entertaining thriller as well(as it is just that--a thriller). Not sure why it's listed in the horror category. Do not recommend this movie if your situation is similar to what I described above. Maybe if you're a movie enthusiast who loves the cinematographic detail, go ahead...
