Wow, I am very impressed.

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2012)

To sum this up in a really quick description I would say, this movie has the classic horror movie essence with sleepy hollowesque cinematography.
I went into this movie with really low expectations. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision for a quick date night movie that I had to choose. I was browsing around Fandango and was immediately drawn to it simply because Daniel Radcliffe is in it. I was excited to see he was doing something else new and different from Harry Potter. There were definitely a few parts in it where I couldn't get past him being Harry Potter. Certain words he would say or a certain way he would look just takes you back to Harry. This however did not ruin the movie at all for me.
I grew up watching the good classic horror movies with my dad. So, naturally I feel pretty desensitized from scary movies. This one however, had me really scared. Did it leave me with any sort of lasting impression, not really just some really weird nightmares the night I saw it.
Daniel did an excellent job. Granted he isn't the best actor but you can tell he has grown up from his Harry Potter days. His use of body language was amazing and really helped to tell the story. The cinematography was wonderful. It really captured the time period and the foggy creepiness of England while also getting really beautiful shots to depict the English Countryside.
Overall, I would definitely go see it again and buy the movie. It is definitely worth the $10 ticket. If you miss the classic horror movies go see it. Finally, a horror movie that does what it supposed to do. It wasn't lost in gore and blood. The simplicity really makes this movie amazing.
