I've seen many horrors in my time, which no doubt they have been amazing. However this one, for me, tops them all. I leant it to my uncle whom though it to be sick and too far. But he's not good with the gore aspects of horror so that was to be expected. Definitely watch if you're not light hearted. The music for this movie is excellent, it's the best music I've heard for in a horror movie. That in it's self can creep you out. I could watch this over and over again.

Started off like any most horror film, family moves to a new house and find out crazy stuff happened there same old same old, but as the film goes on new plot lines are induced that are pretty original, however I gave it 4 star because I'm not sure about the "twist" at the end (although if you have seen a fair amount of horror films you get a good idea of Wat it is)! Overall a good , well acted movie that's worth renting if you want to watch a film that's a bit different!

As 21st century horror films go, this was worth its salt! It had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time and the ending is very unexpected. I can understand people's negative reviews of this film because it's quite cliché at times but personally, I really enjoyed it! 8.3/10
