Nothing Novel - Jump Scares and a Creepy Atmosphere

Rating: 5/10 (18 February 2012)

The plot itself is decent but not detailed enough to make the vengeance of the spirit make enough sense. The film itself succeeds in giving the thrills the audience seeks, but does so in a typical manner (not unlike the recent Insidious, though I felt that the first act of Insidious was comparatively superior to that of this film). The atmosphere however, was well established and dreadful from the very start. With regards to the acting of the actors, Radcliffe's response to the situations within the film (like most other horror movie mains) are rather unrealistic (but obviously, necessary for the progression of the film), other characters were not well illustrated to be worthy of any discussion.
Overall, a movie ticket? Nah, just get the DVD put your speakers on high and you'll feel just the same.
5/10
