Cliché

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2012)

The story is very straight forward, but doesn't have a real climax. Every haunted-house cliché was pulled out during this movie. From children to black shadows. Almost 50 percent of the scenes, that are supposed to be scary, are announced with such obviousness through camera-angle or music that they lose momentum before they are even there. Don't get me wrong, the movie has some moments that scare you, but those are just too little in my opinion.
What irritates me is that Radcliffe never gets scared during the movie, only at the very end. Every human being would be scared to death and run away, but Radcliffe just keeps walking through the house with one paranormal occurrence after the other.
If you just want to get scared, don't care about the originality of the plot (which has one nice twist at the end) then this can be an entertaining movie, but don't expect much more...
