Pretty scary with great atmosphere

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2013)

I was afraid that the horror genre was in the phase where all movies were dull and gory with these drugged sexually-obsessed dumb teenage characters you can't trust and don't care about (and who therefore all get slaughtered in the end) but as it turns out there is still hope!
Like The Woman in Black, this movie was genuinely scary and the atmosphere was awesome. The location was perfect for this story, the house gave me the chills, ...
I loved the paranormal investigative duo in the movie. It was the reason why I wanted to see it. I thought it was original and it gave me the nostalgic Scully and Mulder feel. Although Lorraine and Ed were nothing like Scully and Mulder they made up for a great credible and likable couple that blew a fresh breeze through the story that was not from the evil spirits or draught (or farts, as the characters in The Conjuring would believe).
This movie took a true story, added some emulated Exorcist, the Haunting and Poltergeist and finished the whole with some authentic creativity, great actors and amazing sound-effects. Job well done!
