The revival of Hammer horror production

Rating: 6/10 (12 September 2012)

I was very curious when I have read all the positive reviews here. Then the trailer promised an interesting ghost story too. The most important expectation for me was to see Daniel Radcliffe in his first adult role in a horror movie. He made a good job. The other reason was how the new Hammer house produced this creepy thriller. It was no doubt very convincing showing very original sceneries with chilling atmosphere. The haunted house was very mysterious. All filled out with outstanding cold colors. The script is okay and the running time just perfect. What I and my wife didn't like therefore was that children are shown in a very poor aspect. You will understand when you'll have seen it. Be prepared to a very unexpected end that I want not to spoil out here. The music from star composer Marco Beltrami was excellent. Don't miss it. 6/10 because my wife gave 4/10 concerning the children and me 8/10 .
