pretty boring

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2012)

I didn't care much about this film and to be honest i don't know why its getting so much praise because when i saw this film i thought it was very slow and very boring especially at the start and i'm sorry to say this film wasn't that scary, it definitely isn't as scary as everyone is saying it is and yes i will admit that one scene made me jump but thats it! and the problem with this film is it revolves around jump scares the majority of the time and after a while it becomes very lame. I just did not care for the story or for the characters and i personally thought the father in this film was a bit of an Idiot because during the whole film all he ever did was obsess about his stupid book! and it becomes very boring and it made me dislike the guy. I just found the whole situation very stupid because the lead man in the film knows a bunch of murders took place in the house he's moved into and does he tell his wife? No and later in the film when he finds out his house is haunted by a bunch of ghosts he still does nothing and he doesn't tell his wife that either in fact he never tells her anything! instead all he does is obsess over his story! the man didn't even seem to care about his own safety or the safety of his family and that to me is pretty dumb! i mean i could understand if he didn't know the house was haunted because then it would make sense for him to stay there! but he does know and he still does nothing! and he just continues with his stupid investigation, if that was me i'd leave the house and write my book somewhere else! or write a new story, i wouldn't stay in a house with a bunch of ghosts! especially if they had nearly killed me!.The man should have just left the moment he found out about the ghosts, that would have made much more sense. I'm sorry to say that not much happened in this film and there weren't many scares either, basically the whole film is about this family man investigating and finding old videos about murders and then watching them and thats it! thats pretty much all that happens!, we hear a few noises half way through the film and we see a few ghosts and the ghosts looked stupid in my opinion they did not scare me and then finally right at the end of the film thats when he decides to tell his wife about the ghosts and then they leave and i'm thinking to myself its about time!.God that man was so selfish all he thought about was his story and he only leaves with his family at the end but i guess that didn't matter anyway because even when they got to their old house the ghosts had followed them there! and i'm guessing that was supposed to be some sort of twist? well if it was then i thought it was a stupid twist not to mention i saw it coming! i wasn't at all surprised and then we have a typical horror movie ending which i'm sure you can guess what that is a bad ending! which most of these horror films seem to have!.
