This would have been a good movie 40 years ago. Daniel Radcliffe was once a convincing sorcerer apprentice but has now taken the appearance of a clown in a funny farm.
Nice settings but nothing I haven't seen before. What bothered me the most was the comment Radcliffe gave; He compared it to The Shining! I take that as an insult to a movie that is a classic in the scary-movie genre.
The story builds up dramatically slow and when it finally seems to get going every action that is revered to as scary is a big disappointment. In fact: All the scary details are shown in the trailer... That's really all the action there is.
People that find this a breathtaking or heart-stopping movie that keeps you awake at night have been stuck under a rock for far too long...
