Utterly boring

Rating: 4/10 (7 June 2008)

I watched this movie after hearing lot of good reviews of it: chilling, moving, original, close to "The Others" for the atmosphere... Well, for me it's been a big disappointing: for start, you cannot sympathize with such an annoying and arrogant child. So, when he's gone, you're thinking "what a loss".
Anyway, after that the movie is just another repetition of the theme "spirits in haunted places", because they suffered some tremendous destiny here, of course, with all the consequences. We're not spared either the parapsychological babble, or the mother considered nuts by anyone with a stable mind, that naturally will find the deep truth. Bore, bore, bore.
And the worst thing is that they want it to be taken seriously... I rather appreciate the honesty of B- and C-horror movies with monsters and demons who blink the eye to the spectator saying "I know it's absurd, let's just have fun"...
