Illogical and dull

Rating: 3/10 (20 May 2013)

The premise was a good one, but the execution was poor. The characters are not interesting, the story is convoluted, and the lack of logic almost renders it a parody. Who in their right mind would move into a house where a grotesque murder has taken place, and then continue living there after films of actual murders start appearing out of nowhere and demons start appearing in person? I am sorry, but I think the horror genre has reached a point where this kind of nonsense can no longer be tolerated. I cannot suspend my disbelief any more when faced with such incredible nonsense.
Another problem with this film is that it is too long. There simply isn't enough material here for a film that long and what we see is constant repetition of scenes which do not add anything to the story. Finally we have the obvious ending: the missing children committed the murders.
This film is completely unnecessary, adds nothing to the horror genre, and fails to utilize the potential of the idea about a demon who appears in home video. This story could have taken a much more original route, but instead the screenwriters chose to deliver this uninspired, dull, and predictable film which, as a matter of fact, isn't even particularly scary.
