Impressive...

...way of making money. This is a really clever trick, advertised in the best of ways by fooling many people that it was all happening for real. But as a movie it works quite bad. It suffers from both substandard acting and underdeveloped characters. It is probably meant to make it seem more "real" but then again, what do I know. Before I saw this it had been hyped beyond imagination and I was not quite sure if it could live up to it and it later showed that it certainly couldn't.
What we have here is just a very intelligent way of advertising and sadly not much else. The scares consists solely of a doll that's attached to a couple of sticks, and various strange sounds. Now I don't know about you but I don't find this scary at all.
Despite being poorly made in every department except advertising it managed to reach a cult status and gross enormous amounts of money. It's a strange and unfair world we're living in.
