It is a fantastic premise on which to build the scares and the opening scenes and early moments show that all too well. It is a shame then that the framing story is nonsensical and the connection to the family being terrorised poorly developed - the film would have been far better leaving its villain a mysterious threat. It doesn't help that the ground rules and internal logic laid out by the film is often circumvented to fit the needs of the story and the effective and creepy opening setup devolves into standard fare by the final act. It's no surprise to discover this was based on a short - perhaps thats how it should have remained.

It wasn't the best movie ever but it did keep me in suspense all throughout the movie so I'll give it props for that. As a lot of other people have mentioned there's a lot missing. [spoiler]Why Diana is doing what she is doing is not really explained at all, which is a big problem. [/spoiler] The acting was pretty good though. I did enjoy the original short film but the way it turned out as a full lengh movie did not quite reach my expectations. By no means a bad movie though.

So the audience in the theatre really ruined this film for me. They screamed at parts that weren't all that scary, hyping themselves into being scared. That said, parts of the movie were generally quite frightening, but there was also some comedy mixed in. The pacing was not great--as soon as they discover the threat they kinda go straight into investigating its background, but the movie had a really good ending and some likeable characters. And the CG wasn't that bad either. 6.8/10.

This movie, like many horror films like it, rely heavily on concept rather than writing. It's true, the concept of a spirit that you can only see when you turn off the lights is perfect. We often saw questionable shapes in the night as children, and our mind would then create more disturbing im More

Damn, that was slick!

I'm actually quite confused by the low ratings for this movie. What's inherently wrong with it? The biggest complaints I've heard against this was it's repetitive nature and reliance on jumpscares, and I'm going to have to disagree. It may have a little r More
