I read some of the reviews before watching this and I was expecting the worst. Some saying they walked out of the film, were disappointed. Story was predictable and so on so I was expecting the worst, the kind of low budget horror you get to see so many times so I was actually pleasantly surprised.
First thing to note is that this was a Sony production. Ok not low budget.
Others complained there was no backstory. What do you expect, it's a horror film not a drama so that is a plus in my books. Gets straight to the point which is what a horror fan is there for.
Yes the story is predictable, I mean each death is predicted from the moment the tarot cards are read. Not really a bad thing either.
There could have definitely been more gore and scares, the death scenes were definitely rushed, only lasted a few seconds as not to scare any kids in the audience, for the gore horror fans that have seen far worse this was more of a PG-13 horror but I enjoyed it overall. Worth a watch. One thing I will never understand is how the blair witch project with the sniveling nose narrative ever got more than a single person to like that travesty so if anyone liked the blair witch project, I think you would agree this film was 1000% times better than that waste of a film at least. Don't be fooled by the ratings. Yes it's not the best horror but it certainly isn't the worst either as many reviews would make you believe. Overall a good average horror that was entertaining more than it was scary.
