Loved it...

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2013)

Let me begin by saying that I went into this movie with very little interest in actually seeing it. Dragged along by a friend after avoiding it like the plague for a good while!
I just couldn't face yet another possession/horror movie based on "real" events. Let me guess, family moves into house, house starts to destroy their lives, their sanity and their bodies, they don't leave the house, bodies start getting thrown around the place and everybody lives happily ever after...
Spoilers over! HEH! I know, hardly spoilers if everyone on the planet can see them coming a mile off, right?!
Amazingly, after getting all of that totally cliché stuff out of the way, the other 95% of the film was an exercise in lovely cinematography, charming character building and a sense of timing and pacing that was beyond excellent.
Fast-paced when it needed to be and slower than molasses sliding down a window pane when it didn't; the balance held together perfectly at all times.
No loose ends, no silly paradoxical moments, no horrible dialogue and absolutely no wasted time.
So, not a fan of the genre but definitely a fan of the film. Well done all. A joy to watch and jump out of my seat over! Go do the same.
