Don't Believe the Hype

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2013)

I shelled out almost twenty dollars to purchase this film because of the glowing reviews from the critics, and this film turned out to be a major disappointment. The film steals from every horror genre I could think of: "The Exorcist", "Poltergeist", "The Woman in Black", etc., but it doesn't succeed on any level. The first forty-five minutes are a boring back story build-up, while throughout the rest of the film I could predict when every apparition would appear or "jump out of your seat moment" (and you won't be jumping) was going to happen. It's not scary or even suspenseful. Don't waste your time unless you have ninety minutes to waste and expect nothing from it because it does not deliver.
