Nothing new, nothing to expect, no ending, just boring...

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2012)

When I watched that movie I was hoping to see an interesting film with some suspense and, to some extent, a story to tell... Well I didn't. This movie has nothing to be jealous of old horror b-movies. Suspense coming from sounds in an old creepy house, people knowing stories but not telling them and an innocent hero making his way through the corridors, and ... well that's all. No story plot that cannot be woven within five minutes and no clichés left out, from the old toys to the long corridors with the candlesticks. That's it. When finally one thinks that it is coming to an end, the hero and his beloved child predictably die and are reunited with the long-dead mother and wife. And of course the black woman is to be seen once again. No build up in the story, no catharsis, no character description, no suspense actually, and very mediocre acting. I understand Mr. Harry Potter tries to establish himself as a serious actor, but this film is clearly the wrong choice.
