This reminds me to not watch movies that are more than 10 years old

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2011)

What a disappointment this was, being a huge fan of the horror-genre. Old movies are just so outdated.
The monologues were not believable. The acting of the child, which in current day movies or series is really good, was bad.
And I know I shouldn't judge on looks, but Jack Nicholson and his Frankenstein-bride appearance didn't help me enjoy this movie either.
Third point of critique was the music, what a horror to your ears. And it wasn't even functioning, music should be used to raise tension to a point of a big scare, whether or not it will happen. playing the music throughout the whole film was just really annoying.
Now I know many of you wouldn't take me serious after saying this, but I couldn't get past an hour of watching this movie. My eyes were bleeding and not in a good way.
It's unbelievable for me that this movie is rated so high. Okay, the story was original and good, so I will give that some credit in my rating. But the movie just took soooo long to really get going, that I just couldn't set trough it.
Can someone please explain to me why this movie is so high rated, even if you think the script and story was good, you cant ignore the terrible music and acting.
