| greenmedic88 said: I suppose everyone has their own definition of "scary," but personally, no. Just, no. Thanks to the home video/reality format of the film, there were far too many stretches with very little happening on screen as the screenwriter attempted to build up viewer awareness of what was going on in the house. By the third act when most of the pieces are finally kludged together, we have a ghost/demon that is invisible, yet leaves corporeal form footprints, stays invisible, yet likes to make its presence known by banging loudly on doors and slamming doors, apparently has the ability to possess people, yet still feels the need to physically drag someone away from the only other person in the house, whose ineffectiveness is emphasized as he repeatedly claims he's "taking control" throughout the film while in reality doing nothing more than video a series of unexplained phenomena. And of course the climax has the demonically possessed girlfriend killing the boyfriend with a common kitchen knife as though the demon is incapable of inflicting harm without the aid of a mundane piece of cutlery. That was the demonic presence's grand plan with all the theatrical burning ouija board cryptic messages, paradoxical hidden photos, etc.: to kill the boyfriend with a kitchen knife. Really? |
Exactly!
