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
That's what I was afraid of. I haven't agreed with many Rotten Tomatoes ratings lately and I am skeptical of this one (at 85%). Music is a big deal. The recent Sinister was a b-movie premise at best, but the music and mood made it rather effective. So it can really make or break a film for me.
Originally posted by Darth MartinI didn't think it was scary in a "boo!" sense-- there were only a few parts that made me jump a bit. When I say creepy, I just mean that it resonated with me down to my core, on a chilling type of level-- not unlike The Omen, Exorcist, Sinister, etc.
Atleast your honest. We got a bunch of badasses at my job that swear it wasn't scary. When I asked did they jump? They reply "maybe 2 or 3 times."
That's just me, though.
