Wow (Spoilers)
It took 15 minutes for me to realize that I had just wasted $6.50, and an hour and a half of my life. Are these film makers even trying nowadays? I think I've seen this movie a dozen times but with just different titles.
Things that made the movie suck:
1. The casting was awful. - CW acting isn't real acting. Where were those hideous ghoulish people that every high school has? Was this a school for models?
2. The lack of actual haunting - If you're not going to have a ghost / demon in a movie the cool thing to do is warn us before we give over our money. The Trailer was very misleading.
3. The stereotypical teenagers
Ex. She must be the school rebel because she has holes in her stockings and her school uniform is in disarray.
4. The stereotypical new kid in school with a dark past - self-explanatory
5. The Ending - I'm pretty sure they the script said "just wing it" and by god that's what they did. And what was with the Missing poster? That had to be the cheesiest thing in the whole movie.
Things that made the movie good:
1. Still looking for one.
Overplayed horror shots from this movie:
The overhead driving down a winding road shot. - I'm so sick of this shot in these films. Just because Kubrick did it in The Shining doesn't mean every horror / thriller film needs it. It's also in the trailer for The Uninvited. Once you notice it it's going to drive you crazy.
The looking in the mirror shot - find a new way to build the suspense.
Animal jump suspense break - Yeah, this isn't done in every "scary" movie.
