This marks the first time I have ever seen a movie alone in the movie theaters.  I believe there were two reasons for this: 1) Nobody wanted to see this scary movie  and 2) I secretly didn’t want anybody to join me so I could get the full “scare” effect I had been hearing about.  Afterall, Paranormal Activity has been called “The scariest movie of all time”.  Those are some serious shoes to fill, people.

Let me preface this review by saying that I LOVE scary movies. I love movies that keep me in suspense, set me up for surprises and scares, and downright give me chills.  I love movies that convert me to Señor Poopypants.  This movie did not fall short of fulfilling every one of those criteria.  Yup, messy.  However, the movie is not without it’s faults, well, one fault in particular.  The problem is that this one fault nearly ruined the entire experience for me.
