Not Scary, Feeling Pretty Disappointed.

Rating: 6/10 (15 September 2013)

Rather a disappointing film. Everyone talking about how great it was made us ready to be terrified and it did nothing but disappoint continuously. In the first half there were some slightly scary and weird moments, when the spirit appeared behind the mum and the doll being introduced, but from there it just kind of went down hill for a long while. The back story of what happened to the other owners being brought to life (the hangings in the garden) and the mother being exorcised had to be highlighted as the scariest moments but it was nothing that hasn't been in other horror movies plenty of times. For it to be named the 'Mother of all horror movies' I found very generous. It had great acting and a decent story but not much follow through with the scariness. 6/10
