I'm with James her completely, although IMO, there are many, many worse films out there. In fact, this isn't terrible by any means, but it's dull until the last 25 minutes and brings absolutely nothing new to a dull genre.
To think this made $137 Million here and another $180 Million overseas is just ludicrous! WTF? What is wrong with the world and movie goers in general?
So, they spent $20 Million somehow and managed to slap together a run of the mill haunted/possessed based on true life story and somehow the world must have been possessed as well into seeing this sleeper.
I've never been a fan of these types of movies, because for me, there's nothing scary...well...other than loud noises, suddenly appearing images and the like. I must be missing something, but in reality, I'm glad i'm missing it.
Acting was fine all the way around and I guess the effects weren't bad either, but story-wise and movie-wise, there's nothing here we all haven't seen literally hundreds of times before.
