I'll start by saying that I am an avid movie lover ... especially well made horror/thriller movies. I am continually on the look out for something fresh and original. I will say I pretty much despise most of the modern "horror" movies coming out nowadays. Cheap jump scares, bad script, unneeded gore and sex, the list goes on. Therefore I am on the search for original storylines and plots that genuinely terrify me and keep me interested.
As a HUGE fan of recent foreign films such as "Tigers are not afraid", "Train to Busan", "The Wailing", one of my favorite takes on zombies, "the Kingdom", and "I saw the devil", there's a good selection out there that are genuinely scary and succeeding in production quality. However I was really disappointed in this movie. While I agree that it was overall well made, I found myself waiting to be scared in the slightest ... i was reading some reviews saying it was the scariest movie they've seen yet?! Come on ... let's be real here. I seriously love being scared and am obsessed with scary movies but this one doesn't do it in the slightest. There was 10 minutes left in the film and I was eagerly waiting for a big, frightful ending ... nothing. I gave it a 6/10 because of the overall acting / storyline but it defiantly fails in the scare department. The search continues!!
