I heard that this was supposed to be a really scary horror movie that had people unable to finish watching it due to being too scared.

It's a decent movie, the story was definitely able to hold my interest throughout but "super scary" it is not. I didn't feel creeped out in the slightest and I do love my horror flicks...

The few jump scare attempts were feeble and didn't bother me. I'm no hardcore horror fan, unable to be scared by things that other people find scary...I freaked out quite a few times when watching The Conjuring and was definitely creeped out when watching the original Ringu but I'm going to be honest and say this just isn't a scary movie...great campfire story for sure but that's all.

I gave this a 5 simply because it was an average movie and I really don't like it when movies are overhyped. 



It feels like someone was paying a lot of money to have review sites (rotten tomatoes for example) give this a massively overinflated rating. That will work to bring in viewers...viewers is money after all, but in the long run the real people that will review this movie will feel cheated and will give this movie a lesser score than they might otherwise have done. Had I not seen the overhyped stories surrounding this movie then I may have given this an 8.

I saw this movie was trending on social media and it's conveniently on Netflix. I thought, what the heck, I can spend a couple hours watching a horror movie. I along with many other horror fans know the pain of unoriginal horrors with jump scares and flashy CGI, that's basically half of Netflix's horror movie lineup.

Not only was I taken aback by the Sandra's performance as Veronica, but I enjoyed the whole cast. This was treading the line between low budget cult horror and big blockbuster movie. Some of the scenes were chilling and had a lasting effect during the movie and afterwards while I'm writing this review.

Without spoiling anything, they were very creative with the story, and some elements that supposedly happened back in 1991 are terrifying. The photographic evidence from the actual police report makes you realize this might be a realistic recreation. 

If you're a horror fan, this is a great movie to watch. It's a fresh breath from the "cookie cutter" paranormal movies, while at the same time has some elements that can spook you. I don't get scared by too many movies, and while this one didn't scare me, it kept me entertained.
