Don't Believe the Hype *NO SPOILER VERSION*

Rating: 5/10 (28 January 2015)

If you're a person who likes supernatural horror films with a lot of jumps scares, this is not for you. The pacing is slow, there is little actual horror and though you barely see the monster, it doesn't even have the "you can't see me so that makes me scarier" edge going for it either. If anything, the only thing you will feel at the end of this movie is not fear, but pity for the mother. The biggest reason why I watched this movie was because the director of "The Excorcist" said it was "the scariest movie" he's ever seen, so I already knew I wouldn't be scared because his movie didn't scare me, (even though I saw it when I was younger) but I still was interested and wanted to give this movie a chance. The other reason why I watched it is because literally half the people I've asked say it's either scary or awful/boring, which got me more interested, but I'm going to have to slightly agree with the second group. It's not an awful movie, but since it's been hyped up as a "terrifying horror film", it fails, which makes it boring. If it had only been advertised as a psychological thriller then I think it would've done much better. If you want more detail, check the review I wrote that contains spoilers.
