How Scary Is It?

I love a film with good storytelling and will stomach the horror/scary elements at times. On a scale from 1 to 10, how scary is it? Is it mostly just scary bits here and there?

Well. it is not a horror movie. I think that gave it away. But in the end, it should be horror. I guess this movie is not categorized as horror genre because it´d fail as such. I don´t like horror movies because I don´t like to be given the fright, I saw the movie and I wasn´t impressed. I even laughed at some parts that were supposed to be scary.

If you hadn´t seen it yet, just go ahead and watch it keeping in mind that is not hooror movie.

On a scale form 1 to 10, I´d give it a 4. But hey, that´s only my opinion.

Thanks for the response. I'll give it a go with that in mind.

There is scary tension throughout, and one very unsettling, potentially terrifying scene towards the end (one, two, three, knock on the wall) but overall I'd agree with the last poster in that it is not a horror movie.
