not scary at all

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2013)

Halloween 2012 I had to chose between a few flick who had their premiere that night. I went for Bait and Possession and Paranormal Activity 4. Sinister I didn't watch back then but waited a few months. Somehow I had a bad feeling with this.
And I was right. There was a bit too much of talking going on. And when the ghosts appear it looked a bit laughable too. Although that it had a few nice killings, sadly on 8mm. A true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) comes across some snuff 8mm. Je wants to know the truth behind it but it isn't what it looks, is it a serial killer or a ghost at work.
It never scared me or gave me any jump moments. Even when the films over and things are over you could guess what will happen next, never okay if you have that feeling. The acting on the other hand is sublime but there was an overall look that never made it look like a horror. A mainstream horror clearly made not to have a R-rating. Fits perfectly for screaming teenagers who want to protect (kiss) their love while watching.
