House of Horror Movie Cliches


This movie should have been called House of Horror Movie Cliches. Although I don't mind a few jump scares, this movie was clearly milking the cliche teats to a bloody chafing.

-Jump Scares (of the ghosts and just random people).
-Always having to investigate EVERY bump and creak in the house.
-Doors conveniently locking themselves.
-Doors magically opening.
-Toys springing to life at the right moment.
-Seeing a ghost, something distracts the character, then when he looks back the ghost is gone.

Were they trying to cash in on Radcliff's fanbase?

This movie has been made dozens of times. Nothing new at all. Extremely redundant.
