Scary!! Scary!!! Scary!!!

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2013)

I really really really wanted to watch this movie as soon it was out, any horror movie with the tag "Based on a True story" really gets me bent on watching it. But, unfortunately due to many circumstances I will not explain here, it got delayed. I finally got around to watching it a few days back and boy was the wait worth it!!!
Lets be honest, some times these movies can get really predictable, If the light goes out you know when it comes back there is gonna be something in the room, A face is gonna appear in the mirror etc. Well, no body can help want else can you do in horror movies eh!! well.. these people got the answer and I am not kidding, the camera work, the way the worked the angles, the unpredictability of the movie was commendable. I actually watch a lot of horror and pride myself on not having sudden jumps in these movies, but this one made me jump sometimes!!!!
All the protagonists did there part brilliantly. Vera Farmiga performance as Lorraine was off the charts fantastic. She carried out here role with aplomb. All all the kids also deserve special mentions. The acting was always natural. I mean, I actually felt that they were really scared, not just for the camera.
Overall, a complete horror package for every horror aficionados to watch. Easily one of the scariest movies I have seen for some time. Don't watch it alone at night though, that was a stupid decision on my part!!!!!
