My Review-

This is the second film I'am watching from Ti West the first being The House of the Devil, which I also reviewed for my list this year. However I liked the other one more than I did this one, I think it was because it seemed  a lot slower, than I thought it would be and I also hoped it would have been scarier. Do not get me wrong the jump scenes were perfect for this movie, and I did like the character Luke played by Pat Healy. Other than that for me it was just an okay movie, even though I really liked how it was told in chapters and and have a prologue and epilogue, that was one thing that I really liked about it, and I also guess that I do not really thing Paxton can do well in a horror film since she normally does chick flicks or  movies I would not really care to watch in the first place. I will give West this for not really being a big horror director he knows how to stretch scenes and make you want to see what happens next, even if it doesn't pay off part of the time. With this type of movie I Can see how the ratings could be one sided, probably with critics it was something new and sort of fresh, and with the audience I would think they wanted more from this film. I would recommend this movie if you like horror movies and want to see something new, but if you would want something that's slow and sort of builds up also watch it. Since it is sort of worth the watch.
