a forever-disheveled looking mother and her tantrum-loving kid face a suited-up spook

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2014)

Being an ardent horror-cult fan,I invite any new movie in the block with the most open-minded enthusiasm possible and the silly sounding name of the movie prepped me up for a deliciously twisted movie experience, fingers crossed. But those very fingers curled up into a fist a few minutes into the film rolling. While,according to my layman's eyes, subtle trinkets of moments were captured surprisingly, the story itself was a bore. Frankly, I like to be spooked in spooky movies and not a single time did I feel scared. Or trapped. Or helpless as the characters were suggesting. It felt contrived, as if the characters could just step out of the house into the sunshine and stop playing this silly game of getting scared. I must admit,the theatre- full of laughing audience did not help setting the mood. One horror movie I wish I hadn't wasted my money on.
