I'm checking it out Friday. I also want to check out their museum which is about 30 min. from my house.

prolly won't see, but expect this to be successful

Might check it out

up for a decent ghost movie.

Yo, this shit was surprisingly very good. I liked it.

After having watched Vera Farminga in the first season of "Bates Motel" this past year, I have gained so much more respect for her. I'll probably see this on DVD.

Been wanting to see this for a while now, I might go tonight.

It has an 85% on the tomatometer, that's almost unheard of for a horror movie these days.

It got an R rating apparently for being too scary for PG-13, if that's true then that's pretty badass.

It's definitely the best mainstream horror flick I've seen in a long time.

Just got back from seeing this tonight. I dont know what everyone is so impressed about. It is filmed well. The cinematography and lighting is great. It has a perfect nostalgic lens while still being able to feel current. I dont know about this one. Everything just fell flat for me. I never felt any sense of a real threat. This may be because of the music. The music composition for this movie is horrid. It's about as generic as you can get and it often makes everything too predictable. I suppose the other problem is that there is absolutely no character development or even much of a story. It was just cheap jump scares. How this got an R rating is beyond me. I say pass on this one. It's been many times before and many times there have been better results. 6/10

Is a jump scare cheap if you actually jump?

no and i don't mean to belittle that style of horror because whatever this movie did, it did it well. It just felt generic to me. I personally had no connection with any element of the movie other than digging the cinematography.

To each their own. *shrugs* What was wrong with the music?

I give it an 8/10 for building up the characters. The begining was a jk with the doll, made me laugh more tat the dol wanted in so bad. The movie left a few pot holes, the male sideburns were much bigger..lol the witch never really had a bck story other then she was related to a salem witch and she went mad but never gave a motive. Idk maybe i missed it? The mom ghost looked borrowed from the movie 1408, same ghost? There was no real violence in this movie and wen they had the chance they would hesitate. The toy box was a good example of this, i expected the ghost to pop out. I wont say more but the ending sucked.

The way your making it out to sound bad it should be a 5/10 not an 8/10.

Sorry didnt mean to! Guess i watched so many movies im jaded, i probably expect to much. It was entertaining and u had two good jumps. The acting was okay to.

Imperative that if you see this stay away from ALL trailers.

I don't know man, it felt generic to me. It was almost as though the film relied on the music to let the audience know when to be scared. A lot of horror movies have this problem which make the movie far to predictable. My other problem with the movie is that they never really established what the antagonizing entity was. At first it was implied to be a ghost, then a demonic entity and then it was a witch. The whole thing with the exorcism just felt forced. I got the impression that the guy believed but i never once got the impression that he was capable of carrying out an exorcism. I got the impression that an exorcism can be carried out by anyone that can read from the bible. It was a stupid movie that was filmed well.

I usually like demonic spirit movies and shit but this one couldn't get over soon enough. I really don't know what everyone is so enthralled with. As for the R rating, aside from a slight amount of blood, this movie was no more graphic or intense than poltergeist. There is absolutely no reason why it should have landed an R rating. I feel that PG would have suited it just fine.

Looks like another in the increasing long line that brought us Mama, Insidious, Sinister and all the other shit.
