Classic but unique

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2012)

As film makers continue to churn out more blood and guts to hungry fans, a classic haunted house movie is a breath of fresh air.
Daniel Radcliffe has grown up and out of his Harry Potter days, doing a fantastic job on his own, in this incredibly creepy movie. Everything from the house itself, to the people who inhabit the town, to the dull gray ocean keeps you on edge. There are definitely scares and jumps aplenty.
My only complaint is that I felt the plot was a little shallow. There were many frightening scenes, but not enough background information, which I felt took away from the overall eeriness of the movie. I had hoped that all would've been resolved at the end, but was sorely mistaken and was left feeling empty and disappointed.
Overall, it's a great movie to see when you're alone on a stormy night and feel like being terrified until dawn. It'll definitely have you flipping every light on in no time at all.
