I watched it when I was nine, and while it did scare me there for a while, I still loved it a lot. I like it enough, but I don't think it's great or all that really good. It's a film that fails to take advantage of its cool premise, that makes you wish they had done better rather than spoiling a good idea. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. There are slow spots, but to me the movie is too good to dismiss based on them. My advice would be to watch this movie in full before you judge it. Seven out of a possible ten.
