Audience Member This movie was so bad and dumb it gave me a headache. So the guy is screaming in terror upstairs and everyone is calm and peaceful without hearing a thing just downstairs. The directing is just as awful as the script. Complete waste of Sam Rockwell's talent. Could not possibly care less about the rest. I need to see the original movie again now just to calm down. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Blu B What would you expect from this? Well that's exactly what you get. ONLY good thing in this is Sam Rockwell. His cynicism and charm is the only thing that stands out and put a smile on my face every now and than. Besides that yeah nothing to see here. The cinematography and editing isn't good, and the music and pacing is terrible. The acting is ok though. The one preist dude reminds me of Richard Harris constantly. The kids aren't the best thing ever. And pretty much everyone in this is super forgettable including the spirits which you barely see. The CGI is terrible and the practical effects are good but just aren't used well. The direction is basic stuff and none of the scare scenes literally none of them are that particulary memorable. The music is just that Hans Zimmer "Bwhammm..." on repeat half the time. It's not immersive, evokes a sense of wonder, or creepy at all. It just feels like half the time stuff just happens with no real order except for hitting a few key points of the story the original did. The biggest sin here is not that it's convuluted or the worst remake ever made. The biggest problem here is it's just not scary at all. It's shot like a action movie half the time, none of the characters besides Rockwell are that likeable or memorable, and the direction isn't anything special. It also doesn't add ANYTHING new at all. It's the defnition of pointless. In fact it's 20 minutes shorter than the original and yet it feels just as long. Gone is the sense of wonder and childlike curiosity the original evoked about the great beyond and with special effects that really immersed you. Skip This.
