Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

alanlord73 From a couple of Avid Film and TV watchers, I've got to say, Out of all the films and Christmas TV we have both watched over the festive period, This has got to be the viewing highlight for both of us, It has provided suspense , intrigue and had us both drawn in from the beginning up to a cracking end.If like us you are not one of those "Oh I went to Uni and got a Degree in Media Studies, and I know lighting,script writing,ETC" and all that upper class B.S, But an ordinary film enjoy-er, then fill your boot's, forget the world kick off you're shoes have a couple of Beer's and see the film for what it really is a bit of well done entertainment.

kosmasp You may know Isla Fisher from comedies and actually pretty good movies. She has done a couple of them. Not this one though, but it happens. I reckon it sounded really good on paper and she could play a character plus an arc she felt attracted to. I'm just guessing here, not that I read it somewhere or something.If you don't mind the clichés and don't mind this throwing almost every scare jump you've seen in any other horror movie, well you shouldn't mind the movie overall. And while I make it sound really bad, the actors kind of save it from being even worse. There is a certain kind of quality surrounding them. The script and direction did not help them very much ...

Lady Persephone I was pleasantly surprised by this film due to its unique take on hauntings. I found it very interesting that an event in the future could haunt someone in the present (and even those in the past). I had never seen that done before in any other film, so I was quite impressed with this new spin the director/writers put on a would-be conventional ghost story. That being said, I was somewhat disappointed with the ending. For an event to be so traumatic it transcends time and space, and thus haunts all the residents who lived there-even the original owners-I did expect a much more gruesome ending then what we received. Several people were killed and, understandably, that is traumatic in its own right but it didn't seem explosive enough considering all the build up that came before it. Had the baby been extracted and and/or Evie and David had died, that would have made much more sense with the overall story line, especially considering the psychic from many years prior to the event saw their faces rather than the faces of the people who actually died. So, I was let down a bit by the ending but overall this is a decent film.

Seth_Rogue_One It is a common thing for horror movies to boost the sound up when the 'scary bits' occur, but Jesus Christ these guys took it to a really uncomfortable extreme.My ears literally hurt at times because it was so loud, and I didn't even have the volume up very high... You can't with this one because it literally boosts the volume up to 300% in the jump scares as opposed to the normal volume.It was impossible to not hold my hand on the remote and turn it down when things seemed like they were about to get 'scary' which of course made me not being able to get into the movie all that much.If you set the level on a comfortable level for the loud 'scary parts' it was almost impossible to hear what anyone was saying in the 'non scary parts' so that was immensely annoying.Newsflash Hollywood; if the only way you can make a scene scary is if you have to crank the volume up to twice as high in the scares (or as in this case more) then you failed at making a truly scary scene and should consider doing something else.As far as the rest of the movie goes I've seen worse, it's hard to give a fair rating because the sound-mixing ruined the first 50 minutes for me and it wasn't until the last 25 when the sound got more stable that I was able to sort of enjoy it for what it was.With a better soundmix it could probably have been a 4/10 or a 5/10 movie I reckon so still nothing amazing, we've seen it all before really, Isla's rack was a winner though.
