Classic Horror jitters

This film didn't disappoint. When I saw the trailer I was excited to go and see it straight away as it struck me as being a typical scary horror that would have you hiding behind the cushions. The plot was easy to follow and didn't over complicate as some films can. If you are looking to watch something that makes you 'jump' but still hooked to see more, then this is the film for you and any avid horror fans. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Shocking film

Such a bad film didn't even scare me once,
and you could just predict what was going to happen next, loads of people was leaving the cinema because the film was so boring.
