The movie is really scary, overlook all the bad reviews stating the opposite. Have you ever been scared by some strange noises in your house, when you were trying to fall asleep in your room all alone when you were a kid? When you were a kid have you noticed that absolutely casual things in your room turned into something horrible as soon as you turned off the light? As a kid have you been scared so much you couldn't force yourself to open your eyes? If the answer to these questions is YES, the movie will definitely revive some of your childish fears & scary memories. Maybe not only childish. I mean, I'm not a kid anymore & ain't usually scared by the darkness, noises & stuff like that, but sometimes those childish fears are back & I feel that something bad is near me, in the closet, on the attic, in the basement or in the adjoining room. The director has made a wonderful job, creating the required atmosphere to reinstall the fears & insecurity of childhood in viewers' brains. While, the story is questionable sometimes, it is generally well-written & deserves praise. So does the acting, which might not be stellar, but still is very good. What's more important the movie is meaningful & provokes not only fears, but thoughts as well. I think this is a must see for horror fans!
