It was aight.

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2013)

It's a very well done horror flick. I'll give it that. But we've already seen all of these things in recent horror flicks. It's the same stunts, same scenarios, same scare tactics. It's nothing new. The movie took a little bit from the Paranormal Activity movies (makes sense-same director) and a little bit from all of these exorcism movies that have come out as of late. It took all of these things which made for a very solid horror movie and the acting was excellent which definitely helped a lot. The beginning was kind of slow but it picked up midway. It had some good scares from that point on but honestly, I don't know if it's me not being afraid of horror movies anymore (I'm 21) but I really never jolted in my theater seat because of the movie but instead, jolted from girls shrieking throughout the theater- that's really what scared me I realized. I was more worried for them than the characters in the movie. And I kind of hated that because the girls/general audience were/was getting frightened from things in the movie that really weren't that scary or they were just lame attempts to scare you. So I think I just don't "buy" horror flicks in general but for a horror flick, I do recognize that this would be considered a good one, meaning better than the others. Still, I would like to see some new scare tactics so that I feel as if I'm watching something original.
