A Decent Ghost Story, But It's *NOT* Horror!

Rating: 3/10 (6 April 2013)

"The Others" was not a horror movie, and neither is this.
There were hardly any scary moments. The only two that were MILDLY reminiscent of "disturbing" were (1) the scene when the boy shuts the bathroom door and breaks the woman's fingers, (2) when the old lady gets killed by a truck.
That's about it.
I'm not sure why they keep insisting on classifying thrillers as horror. This ISN'T horror. It's just not.
I enjoy a movie like this, though. I'm not a huge fan of violence/gore, so I was glad that there was almost none of it in this film. It wasn't exactly suspenseful, but it *was* very atmospheric and, at times, creepy. The acting was top-notch, too.
A first-rate ghost story; definitely worth watching. You will not be disappointed if you're a fan of ghost movies/psychological thrillers, and if you liked "The Others".
But you *will* be disappointed if you expect gore/violence or scary/disturbing moments (like in Japanese horror movies) -- there's none of that here.
