Sometimes I really do believe certain horror directors aren't even
familiar with the genre and have absolutely no idea what a good, tense
and/or scary horror movie needs.
Thing that's simply unforgivable is that the movie is mostly being a
boring one. There aren't really ever any good developments and it just
isn't ever really clear were the story is heading at, which in this
particular case works as something weak and annoying.
It really shouldn't be all that hard to throw 2 or 3 jump scares into
the movie but this one seems to have absolutely no idea how to do it.
And since the story isn't really going anywhere it isn't an all that
involving and interesting movie to watch anyway. It doesn't help much
that none of the characters in it are likable enough ones either.
It's really an accomplishment for this movie to be a haunted house
movie without featuring any of the typical haunted house movie
ingredients in it. You perhaps would think this means that the movie is
being an original one but it has absolutely nothing in it to replace
the formulaic and typical genre moments with. It just offers absolutely
nothing and I just can't see how anybody could ever like this movie,
let alone be scared at it.
You feel that still somewhere deep down the movie did try and wanted to
be something different. Perhaps this was a case of too much studio
intervention or maybe the script had passed too many different hands in
the proses. But either way, the movie itself of course obviously
remains a far from great one. As a matter of fact, you probably will
have a hard time finish watching it!
