The movie is supposed to scare. But I find it boring. At some points when the movie should elicit scare from the audience, I was almost speechless finding reasons to be scared to no avail.
The story line is very basic, something that you may have seen in some movies you've seen in the past. However, the movie has some strong points, too. One: the cinematography is admirable for it captures the character of the the road leading to the old house where most of the actions happen. Two: the twist in the ending did (really) work. But these don't save the movie.
