Textbook and a welcome arrival

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2014)

Real rating: 8/10
Disclaimer: If a film's IMDb rating is too low, I will always give it 10/10 and then give my real rating in the review.
I think the producers and director got totally sick of all this Paranormal Activity rubbish and said "You wan't a scary movie? We'll give you a scary movie!!" Everything happens in the order you think it's going to, and you know when you're going to get scared, and you don't care.
It is a pleasurable ghost-train ride and you can see everything coming towards you and you can't stop it and THAT ROCKS. Intstead of tinfoil-hat nutters and cheap cash-ins with unwatchable video footage and fishing-line stunts, we get an in-your-face haunted house story.
And it has the 'Based on truth' (ho ho) thing, too, but at least it carries this on it's sleeve instead of just assuming the audience will buy it.
