The reason being, the house was gorgeous and spooky. I think the filmmakers were trying to help us feel like a lone person in a very strange house. We were slowly led on a a tour of nearly the entire house. I don't think I have ever gotten to know a movie house so well. You often hear in commentaries that the house, space ship, structure, etc. is an uncredited cast member. If that's the case here, there was definitely some character development. It just wasn't terribly exciting.<br /><br />I was disappointed that the grandma turned out to be a mutant. I feel like Satanists should simply be human, not so evil that they mutate. Satan corrupts souls, not flesh. It's just not as scary that way. <br /><br />Speaking of scary, there were a few scary scenes in the final twenty minutes. I particularly liked the closeups inter cut with Sam's transformation. I think it was the lighting and editing which made them scary rather than the makeup.<br /><br />Overall, a pretty good movie, but not one worth watching more than once.Miskatonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458189434988263478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-41259713828303529852010-03-08T20:04:26.791-08:002010-03-08T20:04:26.791-08:00This is a solid horror movie to begin with, but it...This is a solid horror movie to begin with, but it's greatest value to me is that it introduced me to "One Thing Lead To Another" by The Fixx. That is the quintessential early '80s new wave jam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-59524101572783336092009-11-23T16:51:54.508-08:002009-11-23T16:51:54.508-08:00Hey, Jeff didn't actually write the opening ti...Hey, Jeff didn't actually write the opening titles(although his soundtrack was my favorite of the year).

Yes, it is a little slow moving at times and for those of you with ADD it can be a little painful, but it seemed to me just as I was starting to lose interest, something happened that pulled me right back in.<br />I was nervous and jumpy throughout most of the movie which is something only a good scary movie can do. <br />I agree the "change" part at the end was a little bit of a WTF? moment and I wish it was explained better. Overall though, I definitely recommend this flick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-16407487614125540322009-11-04T20:20:51.000-08:002009-11-04T20:20:51.000-08:00Can't wait to see this... as for the slowness ...Can't wait to see this... as for the slowness of it, how much of it involves more than one character? Because I have no problem with extensive character development as long as the people are interesting, but the when it's only following one girl for a long time, that could get boring.DemonBarbernoreply@blogger.com
