For the most part, this film did nothing for me, but…

Then you clearly did not pay attention to the movie. Gordon KILLED HIS WIFE and CHILD the day he got the contract (the Friday). They started the job on Monday (3 days later), at which point, the murder had already taken place. This was not only hinted at, but made loud and clear. You MISSED the plot.

I agree with the voice acting for Mary, Billy, and Simon being the best part of the movie. Though Gordon was superb. And I never thought the movie was particularly scary, but it was very thought-provoving, as evidenced by all these threads. Any movie that makes me want to discuss it and watch it again for specific reasons already makes it better than most.
Is it a great movie? No. Is it well-acted? In parts, yes. Was it worth watching? Definitely. -

agree.. this film was dull.. the only thing mildly interesting about it was the voices I feel totally let-down.. the scary scenes.. oh what am i kidding there were no scary scenes.. I grew up watching what i would call Action horror movies.. where people get chopped up or atleast suffer some disfigurment or injury that adds plot to the story.
in the future there should be some way to warn you this movie can bore you to death.. its the exact same kinda boring stuff like Grave Encounters was. -

You'll be beside yourself when you realize I rated it a rare 10/10. I feel it is one of the greatest horror films ever created.
I agree with you (though I rated it 9). I've seen thousands of horror films and this is one of my favorites. It's probably my favorite horror from 2000 on up actually.
Everyone gets creeped by different things, and the atmosphere did it for me in this one. I felt Brad Anderson effectively told this story well, and the scene with Hank finding the treasures, and the kid who's scared of the dark walking in the tunnels when the lights go out, very scary scenes. But, not everyone feels that way.
Agree with this, too. Not every film works for every viewer and everyone is scared / creeped out by different things. Some just can't get that feeling from
any
film. Just depends on the person. People keep raving about The Conjuring and
that
movie did absolutely nothing for me. This one however creeps me out every time I watch it.

The Conjuring really has me perplexed with all the hype it's gotten. Definitely a huge let down. Someone else recommended Dark Skies to me awhile back. I'll try to check it out here soon.

One of best movies made was The Shining. It was a movie with no blood and gore. Not a slasher movie, by any stretch of the imagination. But it was a psychological thriller that didn't allow you to put your guard down for a minute. To be honest, movies like Hostel, or Saw, don't scare me. It's just blood, and gore. Fun to watch, but not scary. You're just glad Jason doesn't live in your neighborhood. It's movies that build with tension, and surprise you, that really stick with you when you go to bed that night.

I have to agree with you because I havent seen this movie in 9-10 years, but I still remember how it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neckThis movie didnt have horrifying scenes of violence, but it was very supernaturally creepy.
As it stands, this is one of my favorite horror/thriller movies of all time
