Wonderful Movie
Overrated
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
For the true horror lover who sifts through piles of gore and mediocre efforts to find those hidden gems, THIS IS ONE.It is arguably my favorite movie, forget genre.Such a beautifully told story with an inconceivable meaning and plot. So original. It is a piece of art next to other movies, such as The Conjuring, which are good in their own right, but rely on jump scares which pale in comparison to truly terrifying moments of drawn out suspense and fright of the utterly unknown. It is a study in how to use computer effects subtly, so that they are not recognizable as fake occurrences.So memorable. So many moments of awesome.....
I was disappointed and expected more. It covers the religious occult topic and adds some frights.Not very scary and low budget.The animation of the creature could have been better in 2016. Reminds me of a computer game animation.The good bit is the voice of Vanessa Redgrave.Storyline is good but it misses something.I stopped watching this after 50 mins because I got bored.The acting is OK but the setting appears to be quite limited but it has its moments to be fair.
It's weird they labeled this as horror. Well, maybe the horror comes from the realization in the end - your mother killed herself over loneliness and your guilt haunted you so bad that you had to hallucinate supernatural things in order to come to terms with it (and many other things). It's a terrifying situation, but this is no horror flick. It would be better depicted as drama. And it deserved more time - Vanessa Redgrave deserved to shine and dazzle us on screen. Certain aspects of it were undeveloped (it had a chance of turning into a very good horror flick on the dad, but they simply ignored it) and some were overrated (the thing with statues? Doctor Who did it already. I spent the whole time warning myself not to blink and remembering David Tennant's monologue on the Weeping Angels). But I found it nice. It didn't bore me to death, it had a surprise in the end, the atmosphere was good to follow, the acting wasn't bad... It's one of those movies you jut think "it could do so much better", you know? But I can't say it was bad. It was decent entertainment after all.
Incredibly creepy movie. For me, as I have mentioned, the creepiest style of horror movie is the supernatural horrors and this one doesn't disappoint. One thing here is that there are not many jump scares at all. It is just mostly build up and it builds up the atmosphere so much that the tension is unbearable after a while. The guy is absolutely alone in the house and there is no chance of any light hearted dialog or anything. It is just this oppressive dread that hangs in the air. And that woman's voice-over. Creepy as hell. It is actually a sad movie as well. The ending is heartbreaking. For that reason, it affected me quite a bit. I still can't say it is a perfect movie but for the feelings it has given me, I have to give it a good rating. 8/10
