When will 21st-century horror makers learn that volume, in and of itself, isn't scary? Curses on the sound-effects geek who invented the grating metallic shriek.

Anwar continua bela e tornou-se mais expressive com a idade, ao passo que Whitaker est desperdiado num filme escrito e dirigido no piloto automtico. Mas a maquiagem do "vilo" ao menos satisfatria.

Rated: 2/5

Your typical paranormal supernatural film about unsettled spirits. It took forever to get to to that point in the film. You never really do get to know each character. This one is a slasher, so there's a very small body count and nobody really knows who is killing who. It's okay, better than HiC 2, but not 1.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Terrible. TERRIBLE. One of the worst main characters for a horror film I've ever seen. Any scene she was in was so boring I would start to get drowsy from hearing her whispery voice. The movie wasted no time bringing in the chills and spooky imagery except, oh yeah, without any buildup or introduction to our characters, every single one fell flat save an instance when a woman turns around slowly and realizes her giant horse had somehow gotten out and snuck up behind her, breathing heavily and looking all whale-eyed. That was kinda freaky. But the rest of the movie was pretty much a snorefest. Wikipedia didn't even give it a proper entry. Was this direct to DVD? Bleh.

(42%) A slightly above average horror elevated by decent performances and a directer that at least tried to make an appealing movie. It is very generic and forgettable though and is not a must watch by any means.

I only gave it one star because it was boring. It was extremely slow moving. The star was because Forest Whitaker was in it.
