I had extremely low expectations for a movie based on a creepypasta, but I love the original Ted the Caver story so much I decided to give this a try, and I was *pleasantly* surprised.
The movie really was pretty scary, in my opinion, though yes, some are jump scares, as almost all horror movies do. The actor who played Ted - Chris Cleveland - was a wonderful surprise. He strongly reminded me of Matthew McConnaghey, and I really felt his terror. In my opinion, his performance alone changed this from an average movie to one I really liked.
Yes, there are some weak plot points (which is the only reason I didn't go for an 8), but I've seen few horror movies with a plot that doesn't require some suspension of disbelief.
Give it a chance. I'm glad I did!
