About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW:
This was a really good horror movie. Quite possibly one of the best I have seen in a while. I love a good scare but the scare has to be original for it to really get to me. This one did.

There was tension that seemed to build and make you clinch your fists before you realize what's happening.  I feel a note of classic horror film making in this one... More subtext and suspense. Not really getting a good look at the "baddie" that's making you crazy for the longest time!

I didn't feel like the scares were contrived and really had much more of a natural flow. Script was pretty good. Acting was solid as well. There were a few things that took a few points away, such as repeated sections or a quick resolution, but not enough to really change my mind about the solid 8.5 that I feel it was deserving.
