Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Load of rubbish!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Daniel Radcliffe is fantastic in this period ghost story and the scenery is excellent, kept me glued right to the end.
The story is basically about a young man who travels to a village and comes across to know that the village is being terrorized with someone that has a vengeful mind.If you want to get good scares this movie had all those elements such as unexpected scares, spooky toys, children, etc.For me there were still something messed up with the story line for example the occupation of the hero, why did he come to that house in the village at the first place and the flash back story of the woman I had to do research and get all the details I needed to know but it could have been explained much more better in the movie and not complicate things. Acting vise Daniel Radcliffe did a wonderful job as well as the others. The ending of the movie was also really good and unexpected. Will be looking forward to seeing the sequel soon and reviewing that title tooPersonally I would recommend this movie to anyone.Notable ActingDaniel Radcliffe his other famous movies you can watch are the harry potter series and many moreCiaran Hinds his other famous movies you can watch is frozen and many moreMy Rating 7/10
This movie is too close the The Marsh and another movie which I forgot the title.It has little creativity in its story and is highly predictable. While I was watching it with a friend, I was betting that this or that would happen next and it all happened. BORING!I recommend skipping this if you have seen many horror movies in your life as it bring nothing new to the genre nor does it have an original scenario (too similar to The Marsh).The acting is somewhat alright, but like all modern horror big money movies, the scariness is focused mainly on sounds rather than actual horror or psychological horror. Typical of ameritrash movies. At least it does not end with everyone clapping their hands like most ameritrash.
This passed a very cold, wet winter's afternoon. I read the book that this film is based on many, many years ago and it scared the bejesus out of me. Susan Hill is an exceptional writer and imho movies are the better for having a decent author/writer behind them. So, what a shame that they took the very heart out of this terrifying tale in order, I can only assume, to pander to a modern trigger- warning-requiring audience. The end of the book is the best part, the most terrifying denouement of the tale: just when you think it's all over, it most definitely isn't. That's entirely lost in the movie as we're left with a bit of a daft, feel-good banality. But that aside, this is a very well done film. The settings are amazing. There are jump-scares enough even for hardened movie veterans. In fact, I think this film (like the book) works very well on the subconscious level of fear, because when you think back about the movie there's actually very little scary in it. It's mostly in the imagination. So, well worth a look. Gorgeous English landscape and interiors and a somewhat decent attempt to do the book justice. Pity about the ending, but a lot of people might enjoy it better than the haunting, depressing, genuinely frightening ending of the book.
