One of my FAVOURITE movies!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2012)

From the very beginning of the film, you knew that it was going to be good... The mood is set almost immediately, and jumps straight into it. I've had a lot of people telling me that it was "slow" at times, but I completely disagree, and think that it was simply building the tension!!! As soon as you lay eyes on the house in the marsh, and the creepy music plays, you're on the edge of your seat and waiting for the unexpected to happen... Throughout the movie, I was constantly looking behind the characters and in mirrors, expecting to catch a glimpse of a shadow, and as soon as you settle, there's a woman on the screen!!! The acting was brilliant, and I love the fact that the characters used body language more than anything!!! This movie had NO blood and gore, just simple, horrifying moments that drew you to the screen... I was so fixated by this movie, that I didn't eat a single piece of popcorn, and had about 5 sips of my drink, which is saying something, seeming as I've usually finished both within the first 10 minuets!!! This movie wasn't confusing in my eyes, and I think the story line was brilliant!!! The one thing that I was surprised on, and really think should be changed, is the rating... I mean, this film should EASILY be a 15!!!! And they didn't even put it as a solid 12, they put it as a 12a!!! Which means kids as young as 5, and even younger are able to watch it with an adult!!! If you're looking at this movie and thinking, oh, it's only a 12a, it's just going to be a few scares that are obviously going to happen when the music plays, then think again!!! I went to see this with my mum and older sister, and we are SO lucky that my younger brother didn't come along, because he would of been crying his eyes out, and we'd have to take him home... This film is AMAZING and I LOVED it!!!! Probably the movie I've ever jumped the most in!!!! WATCH THIS MOVIE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10, easy...
