A mini review, as I don't feel like doing a full one.
I must say that I am extremely disappointed in the Pang Brothers American debut. After giving me The Eye and The Eye II, both really well-done horror films that are creepy as hell with good stories, I thought this would be just as good. It turns out it's a watered down mess with ghosts that literally have no point being there and more horror clichés than I could count. Spooky old farm? Check. Kids see things and no one will believe them? Check. Pointless jump scares? Check. Jerky motion ghosts that crawl a lot? Check. Creepy kid? Check. The list goes on and on. TRY SOMETHING NEW! I give it a 1 & 1/2 out of five, because at least the plot twist was something relatively new, even if it negates the need for ghosts. The visuals were nice too. But I'm just very disappointed overall.
