heard it was good. can't wait to watch

Im personally not one to sit through a horror film, but this was an exseption. I will not denie that i hid my face and screamed several times durring the film, but it was the perfect amount. Not to mention the amazing plot that made the movie not only horror but as well mystery. I would suguest everyone go see this, it is by far my favorite horror film.

This is a very atmospheric, old-fashioned ghost story. No huge twists, but very satisfying plot nevertheless. The acting was solid - nice to see Daniel Radcliffe in a more grown-up role. The setting was suitably eerie - seriously, who lives in these decaying old mansions? If you like "The Haunting", "The Others", and ghost stories like Henry James's "The Turn of the Screw", you will like this movie. Do not see it if you are one of those people who watches every horror movie and goes "Yeah, right." I grant you that any sane person would have bugged out of the haunted house in the first ten minutes. That is beside the point. Also, avoid it if monkeys and clowns freak you out. Not too scary for preteens and up, but probably too much for the 10 and under set.

This is a good "old fashioned" type scary movie, it stars Daniel Radcliffe as the main character, we all know him as Harry Potter, and if you can get past that stereotype of him in the Harry Potter movies, he did a pretty decent job here, although not one that will win him any awards anytime soon, he does still need room to improve. The movie itself had a decent story to it, its not an action type movie at all, but more a haunting story. The scares in this movie were the good old fashion scares, no real special effects to over do it, to me it was just the right mix of the type of scares, and the proper timing for them. This isnt a movie that will stick in your mind, but to me, it is one that I'd like to see maybe once every couple years. I myself wood give this close to 3 out of 4 stars, maybe not quit the 3 stars, but close, and would recommend if your looking for decent scary movie to see, then go see this one, it may not scare the hell out of you, but it will make you jump.

This is the kind of creepy, old school horror that you remember scaring the heck out of you as a kid. Wonderful movie that brings back the best of jump out of your seat scariness. Daniel Ratcliff is awesome, and the townspeople and back story all come together for a great old school, suspenseful horror film. It's nice to have classic creepy horror back in the (movie) house!
