This movie could not have been better because the story was to silly to allow it. Horror movies depend on how real they appear to be. Sadly, this movie never felt authentic. I love it when paranormal elements elevate a story, but often they simply don't. That's the case here. I imagine if I was 25 years younger, I'd have a much more favorable view of this movie. If you're not a teenager and you want to watch something that is genuinely frightening and realistic then this is absolutely not the movie for you. That being said, the director did a good job with what he had, but the true stars are the young actors, particularly Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw.
