Not Scary and Very Slow, But Worth Seeing
I was expecting a fast paced movie, what I got was a slow movie with a lot of plot holes. Some of it just didn't make sense. There is a scene when Theo is helping Nell get to bed. She says, "Goodnight. I'll be right back to bring you some tea." What? And then she never brings her tea... And what about when they decide that Nell shouldn't be alone, so Luke says he'll take the first shift to stay with her. In the next scene trouble happens in the room and Luke isn't even in there, he's out walking around. What? Anyway, little things like this took away from this movie. It wasn't scary at all. The acting was terrible. The only thing I can say is that this film looks fantastic! The house is awesome, the special effects were pretty cool and this is a movie you can watch with your girlfriend or wife because it's not very bloody or gory. I give it 3 stars for those things. They had all these great things and then they ruined it with a bad script and terrible acting. Worth checking out, but don't expect anything great.
