Keeping it in

I have to say that I am a bit surprised by the rating here. I thought this movie had a bigger following and was generally seen as something different (in a good way). It seems though, that people are more likely to go see the same old rather than go watch this and enjoy it. I'm not complaining though, because we all have our taste and we should stick with it.

Back to the movie though, that if you wanna be negative can be called a somewhat of a repeat of Ti Wests last movie. But that wouldn't be fair to the movie and it wouldn't be entirely true. House of the Devil was about something completely different even though both movies seem to have a similar setting.

What I love about both those movies, is the pace that Ti West goes. He even goes scarier with this one (or puts a few more scares in it, than he had in House), but still maintains to keep it character and story driven at the same time. Sara Paxton is phenomenal portraying a geek. I hadn't seen her partner in crime, but he's pretty good too. I guess some people will be disappointed because they have another picture of Sara. But again, this would be unfair to her and the movie.

I'm not here to make your mind up, but I hope I can prevent anyone who might not like this, from watching it. Again don't compare it to House, but expect it to be a slow build-up too.
