So first of all I didn't see the original one and I'm not that kind of person who can watch any horror saying oh it was nothing, I didn't get scared. But now I really have to say that the most of the movie was not scary at all.
Instead of making long mysterious moments when you are starting to cover your eyes because you know that something really creepy will happen they just made big fancy moments. And no I'm not talking about jump scares even those jump scares had no effect. They were trying to make long scary moments too but it just failed (except only one scene). It was more about big fancy overdone scenes. Which is OK but not in a horror movie. So for me it was more like a kind of fantasy-scifi stuff, not a horror.
The whole atmosphere of the movie was not what you expect from a good horror. Most of the times it was not creepy, not dark and the actors didn't really feel what is happening also it made some very unrealistic moments, sometimes I felt I'm in a comedy.
Just the whole movie didn't take it seriously what happened...usually when a family finds out that something is not OK with their house or if something weird is happening to their kid they panic a bit more... (The little boy made the best, most realistic job at acting btw...)
So after all for me it failed as a horror. BUT I still gave 7 stars because if I'm looking at it as a not too serious fantasy thing then it was quite entertaining. Not what I expected, but not bad.
