That *beep* thing on the stairs :O :O



This deserves so much higher than the 5.9 listed.

I don't get scared, "scary" films aren't scary. Things like Paranormal Activity etc - meh. I don't see the appeal. I've watched plenty, the classics, The Thing, The Fly, Poltergiest, The Haunted etc, and the newer stuff VHS, Grave Encounters, Insidious et al.

This film was scary when they weren't trying, when "things" started flying around then we were back into meh, Hollywood territory, but before all that it was pretty tense.

And that thing on the stairs, I really didn't like that, I almost wanted to turn it off. It's been playing on my mind for the last hour or so and I'm not too happy about going upstairs just now for bed.

In other news - this is one of a host of films I've watched now without reading too much premise and without watching the trailer and I must say, not watching trailers really improves the experience of a film.

Did I miss something? WHAT THING on the stairs???

reply

At 40m 45s

It doesn't look that fun in a picture, but it freaked me out as do most things that are off to the side, the things you're supposed to notice but not see.

Is that from the scene when he's looking for Fishbone and then collides with his sister while climbing up the stairs, after running into his house when he notices the demon in the window? I liked that scene too. It was pretty creepy.

reply

Yeah I think that's the bit :P

That was crap, this film was a joke, more comedy than horror

reply

the partydjz it had one light moment in it that I remember and it was done after the guy had been taken advantage of sexually by those people he went looking for help from. However that is not enough to make this a comedy. It was clearly horror. The only joke is you for taking shots at this film as it was a well done horror film.

Exactly.
