I saw this last night. I'm glad I didn't read this thread first and get my expectations up even more than they were based on reviews I read.
This shyt was okay...kinda disappointing based on my expectations.
@anybody calling this a classic. It had its moments, but haunted house/demonic possession movies have been done to death so much, the shock value is gone. There wasn't one thing original about this movie.
-House haunted by demons
-Female demonic/ghost character
-Demonic possession and an exorcism performed
-Paranormal investigators helping a haunted family
-The Catholic church, crosses, and holy water
-Loud noises and stuff falling off walls and flying around
-Children able to see spirits that adults can't
-Demons kills or hurts a dog
-Birds flying into windows and dying.
-Secret room in a house no one knew about discovered.
-People piece together a back story of violent history in the house.
It was executed well, but we've seen this movie before. Comparing this to The Exorcist is blasphemous. It actually started off with me thinking it was going to be scarier than it was because that doll was creepy as fukk.
They already okayed a sequel, btw.
