This movie frustrated me. The footage was really well done, very effective use of dark shadowing and an overall creepy, atmospheric gothic vibe. Had some genuinely scary section reminiscent of The Ring.
I thought the directing and editing was really well done.
But 'oh man' the acting was pretty bad, nearly everything was overacted. To be fair, it was mostly the lead female roles. When the lead blonde actress wasnt speaking, or crying, it was okay. When she was silent, she was okay. I just felt that this could have been a horror classic with better acting.
The twist was good, i didnt predict it, that helps.
Overall I loved the plot too.
It's rare I say this, because most most modern remakes arent wonderful. But PLEASE redo this with different actors.
