    Good story badly told

    Imagine a bad cook trying to make hearty soup. Get everything in your kitchen and chuck it into a pot and imagine it will turn out ok. What you get is every cliche of every horror film you've ever seen thrown together with a weak narrative. Sadly boring and un-engaging.

    Not bad

    I can't find a film that entertains and scares me. I didn't expect much from this one. It wasn't scary but it kept me entertained. It was better than a lot of American over CGI'd and overacted movies but with the usual flIckering lights and jump scare tactics

    Overall better than some famous so called horror films.

    a different movie

    An interesting movie as the script is different,and the actors and the child artists are also good..there is a good suspense mood

    I really liked this movie!

    If you like foreign movies, then you know it's not moving a mile a minute like American movies. I am quite a horror buff, So I don't get scared very often. So... I Like creepy, not just slasher films. This was eerie, I was sitting on the edge of my seat. So I do recommend this movie to people that do like foreign movies.

    It doesn't really work on any level.

    I've tried to look for some positives in this film, and not to simply just say it's a poor film, but in reality it's just a poor film. It's tagged as a horror, it isn't, or if it is, then those behind it have very different views on what makes a good horror movie. It is agonisingly slow, the pacing is the main issue, you keep wanting something to happen, for it to spark into life, but that moment never comes. The story was all over the place, it made no sense.

    If you can reach the end, you're a trooper. I was just bored. 3/10
