Not good, Scarier ghosts please!!!! May contain spoilers

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2008)

I don't understand why everyone is saying this is a "triumph for the horror genre" and one newspaper reviewer described it as "the scariest horror since The Shining". I am sorry but I must disagree. There were a few "jumpy bits" but I thought the overall story was not only very predictable but also common. Why is it every horror writer insists on making the ghosts "good" ghosts in the end? It alway turns out the ghosts are doing what they are doing for a good reason for instance Gothika, The Ring, and crap horror films like that. Why can't there just be some bad-ass ghosts doing what they are doing because they are really actually scary and not all nice and sugar-coated in the end. One horror film that has done this recently was Dead Silence albeit that wasn't very good but at least a step in the right direction. I would not recommend this to anyone. Not scary again, and now I must continue my quest for a horror film that genuinely frightens me.
