There has been a lot of hype for the movie. Tags like "Don't see it alone" "Nightmares are guaranteed" have been generously thrown around.
Well, the movie never gave me nightmares, actually not even made me think about it again.
I read that the movie gave the chills to a director who made one of the best horror movies till date, the Poltergiest.
May be watching it alone might have had some effect. It had a few scary moments and the climax was little disturbing.
Towards the end of the movie, you get a little tired of the lead pairs that you actually want the demon/ghost to thrash them so that at least then they would abandon the house or do something really solid to get rid of that thing.
The ghost psychic who runs away saying that this is the work of a Demon and he is not a demon expert was funny and frustrating. He could have been of a little more help for sure being in the Paranormal business for so long. He says that his presence in the house angers the spirit more and more. They could have very well met somewhere outside and discussed about this. I don't understand why they want to do everything inside the damn house.
Couple of moments were really creepy like when Katie wakes up and keeps staring at Micah for hours together at night.
The movie might not work so well with the Indian audiences as we do not come across such situations frequently. A couple of people all alone in big house. House fully made of wood where you can hear a lot of squeaky noises. And for sure if it happened in India, first thing in your mind would be to vacate the house and go and stay with family with more people around. Not sure how much this would work but at least the demon would have had more people to scare this way.
We really don't know the background history about the pair. Katie's family survived the inferno when she was young and shifted to a new home. I guess there must have been more people out there to support them.
Overall it was a decent movie with few scares. And would work more if you were a couple like that leaving alone in an almost deserted home somewhere in the US.
Watch it alone at night and check if it works for you :-)
