Well executed but falls into clichés

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2013)

There was a big hype on this movie and i got out from theater on my appetite. The slow story-building shows their intent quickly: a crescendo in actions and fear, almost math-like.
Scriptwriting was efficient, actors good, it's mostly in the clichés from the movie i was disappointed. Dog weird behavior, early death, the too clever child for his own good who never tell anything to parents until too late, Reminiscent movies like The Exorcism, House, Amityville,etc... can we move forward from 20-40 years old movies and reinvent a bit horror movies?
Slight tongue-in-cheek sense of humor make the pill easier to swallow and few interesting ideas like the moving of spirits linked to fear of people they met instead being home-based like House.
An overall good movie experience, not as scary as expected but still enjoyable.
