slow and drawn out

Rating: 3/10 (28 December 2014)

I was genuinely disappointed. It's not often you see a horror film receive so much praise and I guess that put my expectations a bit high. I found the movie to move along quite slow. There were, in my opinion, very few scares. It was all build up and no delivery. I really disliked the characters to the point that they were becoming difficult to watch. First the child was unbearably annoying and then the mother. I understand that the family was meant to be portrayed in a troubled light but it was done in such a way that really made you hate them. All in all I think this film is extremely over rated. It isn't the worst paranormal film iv seen but it certainly is not the best.
