James Wan meets Supernatural

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2013)

I was expecting a lot of tension in this horror movie and I was aware of the fact, that the movie is based on classical horror movies. That's fine. But in the end I find it "the Supernatural little movie brother".
I respect the work with camera, I admired the stylization of 70's and loved the actors. There was also a very well done job with the sound and music. The atmosphere is very "drama-like", meaning exposition – collision – crisis – peripeteia – catastrophe and it was good delivered. But! Do we really need a movie that is inspired by the classics, but gives nothing new? That's what bothers me. Because if I wanted to see something that honors the classics, I would choose American Horror Story or Supernatural. As far as I'm concerned, I see a lot of parallels between this movie and SPN - family importance, hunters and their "family business", even the cars! The police officer's driving the Mustang! Warrens had their Chevrolet! Unlike this movie you can find the surplus value in SPN, e.g. Death x God and the other stuff as well...In this movie everything is clear, and the happy ending just made me laugh...
The craftsmanship is well done, but the unoriginality, no presence of surplus value made me vote for 6.
