So, I'm keeping this review short. There's not too much to say about this one. But I noticed that all the other reviews are 5 stars, or close to it. I thought you might want to hear the opinion of someone who didn't like it.

I was expecting so much from this film. But only found it to be a bore. Nothing ghostly happened until the end, and even then, I wasn't too impressed by it. I mean, the film isn't even scary at all. I don't even know why the film has an R rating. I've seen scarier stuff in a PG-13 film. There's no swearing, sex, or even violence, so why is this R? But the film's big problem was that it took forever for anything that I cared about to happen.

I will say that how the film ended itself was unexpected, and pretty cool.

Do you like this review?

    If you were looking for scares this really wasn't that type of film. Suspenseful more than scary I would say, kept you guessing. I thought it was very good.
