Did you stay through the closing credits and really examine the pictures? Great, spine-tingling stuff!

In the right story the mystery of what the dead want can be compelling, in the wrong story it's just annoying.Octopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948127593611773731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-74851302246175246702012-10-05T05:00:46.312-07:002012-10-05T05:00:46.312-07:00I hear ya 50, ghost stories are rarely well done a...I hear ya 50, ghost stories are rarely well done and I believe the ones that work, like this film rely more on the behavior of the living then the popping up of the dead. In other words, less is more. It's much scarier to know there is something there without seeing. When there finally is a reveal, your more apt to get a reaction like Octo had. Most modern ghost stories rely way to much on cgi effects, they just aren't scary.
