Mind riveting storyline.If you liked 1408, you will like this one too :)




You may look forward to:

• If you like a horror story which could affect your mind and is gonna stay, this is the movie for you :) What i liked about the movie is the concept where in you cant tell the difference between real incidents to other. The entire frame of our mind believes when awry things happen, and if it does sound spooky then it must be done by an external force. But what if you come to know, all the spooky things that happen are committed by you but you lose memory of those events. Sounds eerie!! Thats right :)
• You do get your dose of proven existence of unnatural presence and witness some ugly faces, but what works best for the movie is the way it is scripted and the way it ends
• I absolutely loved the end of this flick. Most of the horror movie end so predictably. I bet you cant predict the end of this flick
• All the actors do their best of the jobs and look very convincing. I particularly like the after look of Katee Sackhoff, that can leave some impact on a child's mind to see his mother in a state as this

  

What you can sleep over:


Things are quite well placed, scenes were executed well. Not many lose ends  :)

  

The dampeners you should be aware of:


Some unnecessary events and unexplained ones, like the sudden appearance of Kaylie's financee out of nowhere, specially when he wasnt even aware of the plan and the location, and the entire nonsense around her fiancee(Michael) to follow :P




My rating: 3.5/5
