Solid, well made movie

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2015)

I am ashamed having to admit that I have not seen the original. But I liked this version very much. It is not exactly a scary movie; but being scary is not its goal. It is quite unsettling and very well-made in terms of cinematography, directing, acting and soundtrack. It is a story of a family, and the characters are very well presented, offering some surprising and convincing development. The plot is very solid, too. There were no moments when I kept asking myself: why the hell is he/she doing this or what the hell is happening now?.. The plot is much more clear and comprehensible than in most of the horror movies which tend to be vague and 'mystifying' for one simple reason, namely not having a credible idea or explanation for what is happening and why.
For me, it is rather a quite emotional family drama than a horror movie. But it surely has its deal of shocking moments and unsettling atmosphere, so I clearly recommend it to any horror film fan to watch.
