Okay. So, like, if I ever decide to buy a house in the way out in the suburbs/country that's over 300 years old where a grisly murder took place, remind me to bring in every single kind of spiritual guru (priest, rabbi, whatever the muslim and islam spiritual leaders are called, shaman, voodoo priestess, etc.) to rid my house of whatever evil lives there.
Because I don't want to have to deal with the shit this family dealt with.
(Okay, so they admitted to it being not true, but still. FREAKY!)
What's the one rule we've learned from scary movies? NEVER go into the basement alone. Bad things always happen in basements. BAD. THINGS.
Folks, I'm not going to lie to you. This isn't the best acted film out there. The plot line has holes and inconsistencies. In fact, parts of the movie are downright boring and you're sitting there thinking, "Hurry up and move it along people!"
But then one scary part happens and you forget all about that. And Holy Mary Mother of God are the scary parts FUCKING scary!
How scary? Scary enough for me to scream out loud in the theatre. And no pansy ass muffled cry. Oh no. I screamed loudly. Not blood curtling, but close enough. And then I had to watch most of the rest of the movie through my fingers.
And now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.
And for revenge, I'm going to call my friend Natey at 3:15am and say "Katch 'em and kill 'em!" (you'll get that if you see the movie).
