Another bad M. Night movie
14 September 2015 | by (Southeast) – See all my reviews

Going on almost a decade of crap from M Night. This movie is not much more than a "boo" shock flick. I really cant believe I gave Night another opportunity at my money. What is more surprising is the number of people and critics that think this film is worth more than 1 star.

The kids do a good job at acting their over scripted parts. Although the boy's part I believe was not well cast.

At best this is a poorly shot mix of Blair Witch and Paranormal, but both of those films were actually scary and fun to watch.

The craziest part is that the first weekend gross was over $25 million. Are there still that many M Night fans out there, that haven't gotten tired of his sorry excuses of movies?
