It's about a family that moves into a haunted house and the paranormal investigators that help them. I really enjoyed it. It's spooky and has some pretty creepy scenes. If you like ghost stories, then you should check it out.

One movie that I thought was seriously good and scary, though, was the one with Daniel Radcliffe. It was surprisingly lacking in what ruins most other horror movies for me.
How is this one? Is it cliched beyond belief (jump scares, 1D characters, cheesy acting, unbelievable or boring characters, "durr hurr then a skeleton popped out!" moments) or is it actually tense?

He was in Insidious which had some scary parts but then got kind of cheesy. Ending was good though!

(31,129 posts)They can pretty much say that about anything and get away with it. They did with the movie FARGO.
However, it still might be an OK movie.
