Simply put the best horror film i've seen in years

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2015)

Reviewing a horror film without spoiling it is next to impossible. So please just go and watch this film as blind as possible so you ca enjoy everything it has to offer. So very LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD.
Seriously i have nothing bad to say about this film so here we go with the good. The performances are incredible. Not only from the mother(seriously this is Oscar nomination worthy) but also from her son who couldn't be more than 10 years old. No jump scares is also a godsend in this day in age.
But really the 2 best things about this film are it's unrelenting tension and incredible horror gimmick. Like most of my favourite horror gimmicks(how death works in Final Destination, the 8mm films in Sinister or the VHS in The Ring) this will captivate you and terrify you in equal measure. All i will say is that it's a book.
But really it's all about the tension. The second the book is introduced the movie grabs your balls and doesn't let go. You will fear every sound and everything you see or don't see and really it's a feeling that can only be experienced and not explained.
It also is a thinking man's horror film. It probably won't stop you from sleeping but it will definitely make you think and wonder about what just happened in the past 1h30. It's very clear but also open to interpretation which is a very hard thing to do especially in horror films.
So if you like to allow your body to contort in your couch in fear then turn off the lights, pump up the sound and enjoy a truly well crafted piece of horror.
