A good scare for supernatural horror

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2013)

I haven't seen a better film than this one in a long time in this genre. The story in the film has been told many times but the way it is presented this time is very good. Like other reviews say, there are no cheap "gotcha" tricks in the movie. It simply builds up suspense and then delivers a bang. I have seen nearly every horror film out there and I was actually surprised a few times by this one, very rare for me.
What I like the most is that the balance of CGI and old fashioned make-up is well balanced here. The dark parts of the film are well placed and add exactly the right surprises. When you have seen the film go out on the internet and actually read the true stories behind the film, that's what sets the last nail in the coffin.
There's no massive amounts of gore or useless T&A action to evade the flaws here, just good old fashioned shock. So, if you're in the mood for a tasteful horror movie that's not boring and dull watch the film. You will not be disappointed.
