Well, the previews were good anyway. I almost stopped the entire review after that first sentence but figured I have always been long winded when talking about movies, why stop now? I LOVE horror movies, all types. Thrillers, Slasher, Supernatural, B-Rated, you name it. So I am a little bias when it comes to that genre but I am still honest. We have our main ingredients for this Hollywood Blockbuster of a scary movie. 1. Bat-Shit crazy Mom with some deep secrets and psychotic demeanor. 2. Hot Daughter who is rebellious and has Daddy issues. 3. Creepy, shadowy, un-killable gargling monster with only one vice, light. Boom, there you have it, a recipe for success in the cinematic world of today! What was wrong you ask? Well here are a few thoughts from me: Pretty loose and kind of dumb story. Rushed and wanted to be a less smart version of "The Ring". No reason as to why anything was happening. Oh, and not scary. There were a few good points for potential, and the monster, ghost, thing was pretty vicious. Also, this is probably the hottest I have ever seen Teresa Palmer, usually she looks like a homeless crack addict. I would watch it to get your curious scare fix but don't spend more than a dollar. You will be disappointed, which is why I cant figure out why the reviews are mostly really good?!?!
FYI: A sequel was immediately green lit after this movie with a $5 million budget made 4 times that on the opening weekend!
