I love horror movies, and I shrieked at this one

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2013)

This movie was great! I was so excited for it to come out and when it did and it was getting reviews that it is, I sprinted to the theater. I watch horror movies all the time and leave them unscathed. I watched the exorcist and laughed at it. The only horror movie that truly made me freak out was The Amytiville Horror, (the original, not the remake. I mean, why a remake?). And the two share many similarities. Just more ghosts in this one. There were scares from twenty minutes in, and then on. The first scene even made me jump. That freaking doll....... This was also a very original horror movie, in it's own way though. The plot is the same as most haunted house movies. However this one incorporated the whole satanist thing, which I didn't expect. And most would think that wouldn't work. But they way it was written worked so well that no other film of the similar sub-genre should even try to do it. I was very pleased with this movie and even shrieked, (And I've never done that at a movie before. Only let out laces of profanity or a very loud "OH MY GOD"). This was a fun, terrifying film that was well written and it didn't have much violence, no language, and no sex at all. Most horrors rely on the gore factor or the sex appeal to draw an audience. But with this being rated R for just straight up terror is a major feat. This was a near perfect horror-experience. I wait to see many great things from James Wan.
