Whose going to watch this? It's getting pretty darn good reviews, its at 83% in Rotten tomatoes, out of 90 reviews, 74 fresh, 15 rotten

is James Wan officially the most promising horror genre movie maker?

I plan to see it. It looks more promising than Insidious 2, imo.

Previews look trite, predictable and pandering to the tweener "horror" fan.

Typical quiet/loud, still/noisy, calm/surprise "scary" flick.

You're startled, not scared; unsettled, not disturbed.

Not horror.

It wasn't bad. It wasn't scary and it was cribbing from just about every horror movie you've seen, but it was entertaining

Not horror.Well everything is typical nowadays according to elderly folks, I mean what do expect with this sorta genre? I'm just appreciative there's still directors like this creating good scary, tense movies.

That's what I thought when I saw the trailer. I mean, when does an ear splitting sound occur when it's quiet in your house, unless it's thunder or manmade? Never in my entire life does an incredibly loud noise occur when I'm in a room or when I bump into someone or whatever. Watch the movie on mute and it turns into a comedy without the headache.

I don't know if I want to see this or not. I'm not a big fan of horror, but it's getting good reviews. The horror movies I like the most would--Alien, The Shining, and The Thing--are great movies even without the horror aspects. Being scared just isn't a selling point for me.

Didn't like it. Kinda felt like 'just another horror film' as I was watching it.

I was stunned when I came home and looked at the Rottentomatoes score. Don't know wtf the critics are thinking on this one.

Wasnt really scary, but there were some imagery that kind of stands out.

Watched it last night. Honestly, I liked it.

If you hate jump scares like me, then you will like this movie.

It's not a typical "tweeny" horror movie. The scares were mostly quiet and just were creepy.

Then again, I like horror movies. But for what horror movies have been lately, this one was refreshing.

good but not great. it followed the typical storyline. the tie to her daughter was a bit of a stretch. nothing really scared me. exorcism scene could've been a little more believable.

That's exactly right...while admittedly, I'm a scared little bitch when it comes to these movies, they f'ing stick with me to the point that when they're based on true stories like this one, I end up reading all about them and get even more creeped out. For instance, the doll from this movie in real life is just a regular Raggedy Anne type of doll and for some reason, it's scarier than the fucked up one in the movie.
