The trailer caught my imagination for some reason, and then I saw lots of positive mentions of it on reddit and the like, so after nearly going to see it a couple of times I finally went on the evening of Friday 13th November.
It was bad. Like really bad. Could have been worse, but it was definitely very bad.
It was totally unsubtle. It was boring. It was not scary. The creepy bad thing was just weird and cheap looking. The characters were unsympathetic. The action was inexplicable and eclectic. The foreshadowing was blatant - like did they really need to show her in the book the second time, strangling the dog? As soon as the dog started growling at her after that it was just a matter of time and every time the dog showed up I was just wondering if it was going to die yet.
Whatever.
