Dull I really liked first 30 minutes of this movie, it kinda reminded me an old-school horror adventure game – the chick comes to creepy place, where her grandmother is supposed to live, but she can't find her, so she goes around collecting clues and meeting strange local people, while witnessing strange events and meeting some strangely looking kids and the acting is actually not bad up to this point, but after the 30th minute movie kinda falls apart. Death scenes are lame and not scary to say the least and the scariest thing you see would probably be some little kids playing evil dead – a video game on a machine. Children laugh effect sounds extremely fake and not threatening. As for the story it stops really developing after 30th minute too. Nothing gets accomplished, except from local people being slaughter and it's just down the hill from there. It would probably be safe to say that this movie would better stand alone with some different plot elements because COTC aren't really that important here. I would've loved the movie if it could've sustained the atmosphere of the beginning, but it failed to do that. Failed big time. The ending is lame and very unsatisfying too. If you're going to watch this movie I recommend to shut it down after that magical 30th minute I keep mentioning. Unless you want to be bored to sleep that is. Good stuff lasts for about 40 % of the movie so I give it 4/10.
