Customer Ratings & Reviews

I enjoyed this film. It did have a couple of well resolved characters and that was a plus. But except for sepia toned children, and unusual aspects of those children with regard to the house and a "swing out back", I was hoping for more. To me, it was as though the same scene was being played over and over. While the struggle with his writing and the lead character's lack of clarity regarding his experiencing strange events at the home seemed to me to be at times nearly tactile, this alone does not a horror movie make. This was more of a spooky character study with mysteries and questions. Questions like: how does an item that is destroyed and/or engulfed in flames suddenly reappear? But does it really happen or is it all a product of the overworked author's alcohol soaked brain? Still, a question and still a mystery. So the viewer is enticed to find out more. I will submit that having child aged actors in a "dark" film containing imagery of implied violence that may or may not have involved those young characters is likely the aspect that crossed the PG-13/R line. That aspect leaves a tough row to hoe in search of the magical PG-13 rating. But from an adult point of view, the film as a whole is PG-13 fare. If the studios are still trying to output PG-13 material in order to "gain a larger audience", then I would wager that there was much disappointment with the R rating. Just my opinion, folks.

It takes a lot for me to give a movie a perfect rating, so because this one got 4 instead of 5 stars is not exactly a knock. This movie does what few others can, it is genuinely scary and creepy and earns the R rating with barely any language or blood or gore. Not an easy thing to do, but this film nails it. I enjoy it quite a bit.

i watched this movie on the big screen and omg. this is a great idea for a movie and it was actually pretty scary. it keeps you on the edge of your seat and if you sceen insidious then this will remind you of it. finally you wont believe how it all ends.

This movie does a good job of creating a creepy atmosphere, but it is full of modern horror cliches. If you are a horror fan you probably wont mind this and it is worth watching. But if you are the type of viewer who wants something completely original you will be disappointed. Since I hate spoilers I will say no more.

This movie is really well done for scary movie, the cinematography is great, and the music is drastically haunting. The ending I felt was a bit cliche, but other than that, it was a really well done interesting movie. It was better than a lot of the other scary movies that have come out recently in theaters. Highly recommend.

This movie is disturbing on so many levels. The mood was so foreboding, waiting for the next tragedy to happen. Evil children always get me. The antagonist is extremely scary as well. I was very satisfied with the ending, and I wish other movies weren't so afraid to do it the same way.

This movie started off slow and the pace remains the same but it is definitely one of those that makes you jump even without the action.

Horror is very subjective, but this is the scariest movie I've seen since Insidious. Great acting and solid thrills all the way through,

I liked it , good plot,if into horror pick it up, kids liked it ,one 14 other 18,wife not into horror she hated it,

We love scary movies, and this was a pretty good one. Interesting plot twist with a surprise ending.

this movie was the first movie in 30 years that made me jump.. and the acting was superb and the ending was just as exciting as watching the 6th sense for the 1st time!

Was on of my Halloween movie list picks and I really enjoyed this movie it suck the Digital copy expired . But, great movie to watch over and over.

Good horror movie with lots of scares. Definitely worth a watch.

Has some good shocking scenes and tension. Make plenty of popcorn and have a good blanket handy to hide under.

Such a great scary movie, & the disc works perfectly! Case is also in excellent condition.

Blu-Ray is sooooooooooo clear on my 4K TV! A must have

It's a must see. These producers can do no wrong. Great horror movie

We really liked this movie it was scary but it was also interesting.

In the states, this film garnered an R rating. In Japan, the same film is rated: "12-and-over", with no suggestion of parental guidance added. That fact sums up my opinion of this film.

Very good movie, Keeps your interest throughout the movie
