A Believable Horror Flick

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2014)

The plot, supposedly based upon a true story, was very believable. It reminded me of the Exorcist and Amityville Horror except with a new cast of characters. I thought the whole cast, especially the two ghost hunters played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, did an excellent job. As in all horror genre movies, I sometimes wondered why the homeowners didn't take more swift, decisive action immediately. And I never understand why people walk right into the danger (basement) rather than try to get help, or at least get better lighting. Still an excellent movie. I can't wait to see the sequel, and hopefully the Annabelle doll will be used more for scarier effects.
