The most Terrifying Cinema experience ever!

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2013)

I've been waiting to watch this film for months. And last night I went to the cinema and did exactly that. I think I crapped my pants. The most terrifying part about the movie is that it's based on true events, and what makes it even worse is that in the credits there are pictures of the people the movie is based on and it says which actor played who.
The first thing I noticed that's so good about this movie is it's cinematography. It was brilliant and the cameras movement makes the atmosphere more scary and improves the scares as it's angles I noticed were a bit more different than most ghost stories. It's got an actor who I recognised straight away, Patrick Wilson, who was in Insidious. Very talented actor who has a knack for ghost stories and this being probably the best movie i've seen him in.
In my view there are two kind of scares and those are jump scares which is when something makes you jump usually based on the noise and this scare usually doesn't stay with you for the rest of your life and carry on scaring you. The other kind of scare is one I like to call a lasting scare. This is the kind of scare that is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life for example in the movie Insidious that ghost of an old woman was the most frightening look i've ever seen and it still continues to haunt my mind three years after watching it and I probably won't forget it so it is something that haunts your mind (not literally of course) for a long time and maybe forever. This movie had a lot of both. Scary faces, jump scares, loud jump scares that just turns out to have a rational explanation and most of all a character who which is so frightening that I couldn't look at her(and that character is the main one who you probably won't forget)
It wasn't only a movie about a haunted house but it had a religious meaning storyline as well. Envolving Exorcisms and plenty of religious content based on the Christian faith. There is insults to the Christian faith and their believers.
Overall this is the scariest movie i've watched since the 1973 movie The Exorcist. Brilliant Cinematography based on new angles and new ways of filming, good acting and generally just a new take on the haunted house genre. A must watch for horror fans and it's not even that violent or gory so a lot of non-horror fans can watch but i will say it's very intense and plenty of frightening scenes but other than that still a brilliant movie.
