Character build-up or pure waste of time?

Rating: 1/10 (27 July 2013)

Some critics hail this as the scariest movie ever, well, it isn't. For fans of horror films, you risk being very disappointed. The film takes about 60 minutes before things actually begin to happen. I understand the importance of character build-up, however, one whole hour is way too long for this type of movie. The only element of this movie that might be considered 'scary' is: the sound. Doors slamming, sound effects, etc, are basically what makes this film 'scary'. In all honesty, I can think of 100 scarier movies, example: Child's Play (seriously!!!). If you absolutely must see this film, do not waste your time seeing it in a theater. Instead, wait until it comes out on DVD or PPV.
