Thriving on the dark and scary

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2015)

Brilliant acting by both Daniel Radcliffe but also the rest of the cast and crew, this film is really thriving on the dark and scary mood of all the characters, some are angry, some are scared, some are helpful, but they all live with the fear of the unknown, of what is have been and are happening at the village and the house.
That being said, this is a somewhat classic horror film in many ways, the dark and shadows play a big hand in the settings, the creepy slow music and noises play with your mind and the glimpse of something that might or might not be there gives your eyes something to look after. When it all plays together as it does in this film, you get the thrills, the jumping moments and the creepiness and that is what defines a good horror flick.
