I watched this at the weekend too, and loved it.
The twist of emphasis half way through is what made the film for me. I thought it was going to be another typical hollywood cash cow horror, trying to combine Amityville and Paranormal Activity, but thought it ended up quite unique.
Its been a while since ive been to a cinema where the whole room gets into the film as much as this, which helped add to the atmosphere.
dont get me wrong I thought it was good and did enjoy it I thought it was the best new horror for quite some time
it was just the way that it jumped from 1 style to a completely other, the only thing that really annoyed me and nearly every film these days feel the need to do it and that is to cram loads of CGI in when its not needed
Oh I agree about the overuse of CGI, generally a real film ruiner.
However it would be hard to portray some of the aspects of this film without it, and I think a lot of it was really cleverly done; I dont think it was overused either.
^^^ Agree with all these comments. Brought me back to some of the classic 80's Horrors when they were being churned out. Med-prod classics like Shocker(with Mitch Peleggi pre-X-Files fame) and Deadly Friend( with Anne Ramsey, old woman from Goonies).
I liked some of the areas it touched on, Astral Travelling... and the movie had the feel of a Stephen King story, for better or for worse.
Saw the ending coming a mile off, reminded me of The Skeleton Key and so many others but overall enjoyed it and well done scare moments.
