Review:
I enjoyed it. In fact, too intrigued with Ester to take my eyes off the picture. Although the first 15-20minutes of the movie moved slow to introduce the characters; the movie was full of suspense after Ester came into the picture.
There was a constant anticipation of the horror to come. The mirror in the toilet move, oh they did good. you though it was gonna scare but it didn't. And so when you presumed the same for the next time it happened,, you were surely surprised. The movie was well written with an interesting story, the movie was well directed (although limited to a house with white snow all around) This is afterall directed by Jaume Collet-Serra of House of Wax and co-directed by a team which included Leonardo DiCaprio.
I've never seen a movie where sign language was extensively used. Max, their daughter couldn't hear well and wore a hearing aid which could have been carefully added to the plot so she couldn't scream when Ester played her little games. And Isabelle did a great job acting as Esther. In fact, the kids did most of the work in this movie!
I especially like the paintings bit, you'll have to watch it to find out!
Bottomline: It will just please you that you hadn't wasted 120minutes of your life. The movie had a few scares, 3 bloody scenes, unique twist and a scary looking kid.
As compared to Jaume Collet-Serra's previous work House of Wax, this pales in comparison, by a tiny bit. just a tiny bit due to the lack of in-your-face gore (remember Paris being chopped?)
7.5/10
* Good, not good enough (for horror fans)
