Criticism

" The serial horror film barely manages to create an intense atmosphere, before he abstruse in the finals to a more than swings creepy overkill of ghosts. "

" Within five years, the horror attack has the low-budget surprise hit in " converted Blair Witch Project " self-made style for multi- million dollar range. However, this credibility is gone flutes, because now is really enough money to make a decent equipped horror movie or sometimes to send a familiar face in the running for the worst fright moment. [ ... ] And it really does not help if the swelling dramatic music so clearly ( as none of the images it ever is ) makes that same something totally bad happens. That borders on paranormal passivity.
