I loved it...

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2012)

Two things to admit up front: I adore Dan Radcliffe and I hate horror films. I've never enjoyed paying to have someone stress me out. Because it was Radcliffe, I paid to go and I'm very happy I did. I thought the cast was excellent and, while much of the haunted house was what you would expect to find, I thought the special effects were cool, such as the rocking chair. Some of the special touches, like the toys, were very Victorian and creepy. I took my 12 year old granddaughter, who loves to be scared and she loved it. She has gone back to see it two more times with friends.
I've not read the book, nor seen the old version of the movie, so the ending was a surprise to me. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I jumped out of my chair at least five times.
I will buy it when it comes to DVD.
