Not a horror film

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2008)

I watch a lot of horror films, "The Shining" and "Rosemary's Baby" being on the top tier of my list. After hearing very good reviews about this, I was surprised that I did not get scared throughout the entire movie. The film was all over the place, with every trick in the book, certainly not a classic. It was very obvious that the director was not very organized, the script was sloppy, and the actors, even the lead actress was not very believable. The story seemed very long and some deus ex machina, like the granny getting run over by the bus?? Gore effects in there for just gore, but not that realistic. The ending was not very satisfying and very cheesy for an adult audience. Maybe if you were a little girl, this might scare you.
