After being told by my good friend Shy not to watch this movie because I don't handle scary movies well anymore, he said he would watch it with me. Lets face it i'm terrible at saying no to a movie.
Anyways I was rather disappointed with this. I've seen much creepier haunting movies in the past. I didn't feel invested in either of the characters and lets face it the boyfriend, Micah serious jerk. This movie didn't make me suspend belief at all. In fact I often made fun of the ridiculous scenes that would not happen in real life. Some examples of this would be when they hear noises downstairs and go to investigate and call out "is anyone there". Unlike most people, these people did not turn on any lights but they did pick up a big freaking camera to walk with them. Actually in their defense they never turned on lights, because don't all girls when they are scared curl up in the dark, cry a bit and then go right to sleep? Yes I did find the ending creepy and I don't like loud noises.
Over all I'm not planing to see the sequel, i barely stayed awake for the first one. If you have nothing else to watch and want something creepy, keep your expectations super low and you'll be fine.
Just a side note on this. Shy and I started the movie with just the two of us in the house. In the first 10 mins of the movie while they are talking about creepy noises happening in the house. there was a sudden thuding noise on my basement stairs ( 4 thuds ). It was just the perfect time for a random box to fall off the shelf and fall a few steps.
