5.3 ? Underrated don't you think?

I don't know about you guys, but this movie is way too underrated on IMDb, 5.3 ? you gotta be kidding me right? i have seen lot of movies which are above 7 but most of the viewers said they didn't like it that much.

But I think this movie was well written, directed and well acted by the major actors. May be viewers would have understood the story clearly if:

1.If One or two more minutes of scenes were shown to let us know Juan and his mother got in England and how he became Juan to John

2.If Little more about the person talked in English with Juan's mother at the kitchen and was holding her in bed, was his (Juan's) step dad, the night Juan wrote it down and hid it inside the tree (later found by his own daughter). It explained why John (Clive) didn't visit mother while his daughter and wife were there and didn't call him Dad on the phone.

3.If We could see John's mother telling him what really happened at that night. (with full audible narration in english) and telling him it was his father.

4. And finally, If the whole movie dialects were spoken in English, I mean come on you can't expect everyone to read the subtitle while watching Juan's part of the movie (as they were speaking in spanish)

**** Ohh by the way, the parent having sex with full frontal nudity was unnecessary and the daughter seeing her mom nude and 'not' being scolded for opening the door without knocking was disturbing.

I have read all the discussions written by you guys, and I respect everyone's points of view. I have read the comments and agreed with few. But what makes me sad is the rating :-( . I am seriously having doubts of IMDb's ratings.

What if the movie was directed by Christopher Nolan or Quintin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese? (With the same screenplay). No offense to anyone here, but I have seen a lot viewers giving 10/10 or 8/10 to the "Big Shot" movies (Whether they liked it or not).

Even the most hated horror movies are sometimes rated above 6.5 .

So please, can anyone explain me, why this movie's rating is only 5.3? why not at least 6.5 or more? (I have voted 10/10, normally i would have given 7/10 but I want to see this movie gets higher rating, so it's my little contribution. HUHH!!)

Thank you so much, you put it very nicely. I liked the way you explained everything. Thanks again for spending your valuable time to write it down.

P.S. I agree with you about Amazing Spider-Man.

Defenitly underrated. No need to explain why.

no way overrated. SPOILER ahead! the movie had no story. some monster created by their fears or a real one, haunting the father and the girl. flashbacks to the past. so what? it was like a movie project for the director where he had to use the cliche techniques of horror films and prove that he could do them. the movie was like monster haunts, monster haunts, monster haunts them father yells at girl push him away come back whatever monster leaves her movie ends. so what?

Normally I would've given it 4/10, but after reading that, I have voted 1/10. HTH.

I'm Asian, my English is poor so I don't do reserch about this film,
thanks to this message board clarify some of my doubts about the story.
I usually rate film above 7, except for one scene,
they stripped off Carice van Houten again,
and she couldn't wait to light a cigarette, witness by her daughter.
which totally unnecessary in this film.
It could have 7 minus the nude scene, I rate it only 5, sorry.

nope, im pretty sure thats right, infact, id probably rate it lower but i recently rated the ring remakes at a 5 so i felt i couldnt go any lower than that for this, its generic its nothing new and the twist isnt really that shocking
