Im sorry it was not Paranormal Activity, and was actually a good film.


This was a pretty solid film, Id say on par with insidious and lady in black as one of the few good horror movies to come out since the ring. But apparently unless someone puts drivel on the screen like PA, where nothing happens, then its not considered a good horror movie. Oh its not the descent either, a hackney version of the cave with women, what a stellar film. The spanish and asian market are the only things producing good horror movies these days, and long gone are the days when we can expect something good out of the American marketplace.

But back on point, a decent story, that I will admit suffers a little bit due the constantly skeptical nature of the modern horror fan, the twist with Owen may have had more of an impact in the 1990s. But a good atmosphere, nothing over the top like a lot of the gore porns that come out these days. The acting was pretty good as well, all and all a solid 7/10 horror.

I agree with you except for one thing... Insidious was terrible.

I think Insidious suffers from the ending, it was good up until the entering of the other world and went down hill, so lets compromise and say its 2/3rds decent, 1/3rd well not so much.

I agree with you except for three things. I thought Woman in Black (I assume that's what you meant?) was tedious, and I actually like the Paranormal Activity movies for what they are (which is a completely different type of movie than this) and LOVED The Descent. Spot on about Insidious (my one criticism is that it felt so uneven) and Intruders, though, and that foreign markets are producing more quality horror films than domestic in the last decade or so. To be fair they do churn out their fair share of derivative crap, too.
