Incidentally, it is unclear why the name was not translated into Russian? It's not your own name.
Fearful, I must say, in the film is not enough. Everything is very standard - another story about a bad house and a simple American family who moved to this house. Plus no less standard story about the cursed video - this time the bearer of the curse are amateur film found in the attic. Dumb characters are blown away by the gothic nature of what is happening, trying to understand everything and do something, and at this time the evil is getting closer.
A little creepy moments when the main character scuffs around the night house from every rustle. Quite unpleasant maniac videos ... however, at the most brutal moment the camera moves aside and politically correctly demonstrates further as a reflection in the glasses of the main character. I'm not a fan of bloody details, but is this a horror movie or what?
Well, the culprit of the celebration completes the picture - some man who looks like a metal player in the corpspin. Very scary, yes. A real demonic monster from the depths of Hell.
The filmmakers pulled from different sources little by little: a drinking writer obsessed with a strange idea ("The Shining"), a cursed video ("The Call"), creepy kids (Hi Bradbury). But the main plot is simple and absurd, like a childhood horror story. Is it not on the Internet on some creepy-site found writers a source of inspiration? But even the creativity of online horror fans is more original.
What prevents you from giving a bad rating is the soundtrack and the picture. The film is stylish, it can not take away. And the music is quite in the theme, perhaps even too good for this bloody show.
Summary: a mediocre Hollywood horror movie with a good atmosphere, strictly dosed blood and without the slightest glimpse of common sense and originality. The form here with a crushing score wins over the content, which is not far from the pioneer horror stories and the typical content of network cryptic trends.
