Just not very good.

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2013)

Any time I have to pause the movie over a dozen times to point out 1) how ridiculous this particular scene is, but even moreso, 2) to point out that houses often have LIGHTS INSTALLED IN THEM.
Seriously, what person lives in a house where the lights are never on, the walls are dark blue and the ceiling is black ?? Come on. It is cheap to rely on darkness for half your scares, and even cheaper when it accounts for almost all of them. To me, a movie is far scarier when the frights come with the lights on. At a minimum, at least have the lights actually on under normal circumstances when normal people would have lights on. Ugh. Beyond distracting. If not for the utter distraction of the ridiculous lighting, the plot of the movie COULD have been successful. Alas, it was not to be.
And please, don't pick a dweeb moron to be your chosen policeman. Yikes.
