I am a huge horror fan, and the beginning of this film really had my hopes up that it was going to be great. I'd read the rave reviews on here and was very excited that it would be fantastic! The house that it's set in is beautiful and there are shades of Insidious and Sinister, both of which I love, in the first half an hour or so. The story then gets so absolutely ridiculous, the special effects are like a video game, the whole thing becomes like some comedy parody of a B movie that you literally can't help laughing! The last half hour is dreadful. I watched it on my own on a dark and stormy night and I was snorting with laughter. It could have been great. It's a shame. I guessed the "twist" about half way through, even though it was so silly and unbelievable. If you want a chuckle, give it a go. If you want an intelligent scary film, I'd give it a swerve!
