Builds up to nothing

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2008)

Let me first say that this movie had some great scenes, and the creepy atmosphere was very well done.
Now lets talk about what I didn't like...
This whole movie was all about suspense. Lots of bumps and loud noises in the dark accompanied with suspenseful music. Most of these sequences lead up to absolutely nothing, which really takes away from the purpose of the suspense. I didn't care for any of the characters and there were only a few bits of interesting dialogue. Generally speaking this movie didn't have a whole lot of original material. The whole concept of the little kid having imaginary friends in a haunted house has been done in so many different movies I felt like I had already seen most of what this movie had to offer.
