Atmospheric and Scary

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2014)

I started watching this on Christmas Night in a dark room with the fireplace lit - by myself. Needless to say, after about forty-five minutes, I had to turn it off. Very Scary! I got up the next morning and finished the movie WITH THE LIGHTS ON. I thought it was slow getting started, but it wasn't long before my blood pressure was up and I could feel the hair on the back of my neck rising. I enjoyed the story. I really like the character of Sam. He was very loyal to a man he had just met. I thought Daniel Radcliff did a good job as the grieving husband. Truthfully, I would have never even gone into the house, much less chased down weird sounds with nothing more than an candle and a hatchet. The whole movie was very dark and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for something to jump out. I really thought that maybe the whole house would burn down because of all the candles and lanterns. Enjoyed it!
