Doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 6/10 (26 July 2013)

This movie is not scary, plain and simple. I hear all these people talking about how this is the scariest movie of the decade and it'll terrify anyone who sees it but it's simply not true. I went and saw this with a friend and we laughed throughout the movie. Don't get me wrong, the acting and special effects and everything else in this movie is very well done, but the story has been done too many times before. A family moves into a new house, weird stuff happens, and they call a demonologist up to try to fix their problem. It is just so predictable, and when you can see something coming it doesn't scare you as much as it could have if it had been a surprise. All in all I am very disappointed, I don't scare easily at the movies and I was really hoping for a good one out of this one but I just didn't get it. I'm just waiting for Hollywood to get off of this demonologist/exorcism train and come up with something else to scare me with.
