I'll think abt this thread when watching it

That sort of background music was pretty common in films back in the 80s - especially in John Carpenter's films.
I actually liked it.

Totally agree! The incidental music (monotonous organ and annoying electric guitar) was WAY too loud and drowned out a lot of the dialogue. Every time that damned organ theme started up again I thought "oh god not again with this" in fact, I don't think it's going too far to say that the music actually spoilt the film for me? Good film music should should almost go unnoticed, but this went entirely the other way.
Having got that off my chest apart from that it was a great movie with some real frights, good acting, writing and directing, and considering it was made on a very tight budget, hey, who are we to criticize really.
Mike Flanagan has turned out some brilliant works since this one (notably Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija Origin Of Evil, and Oculus) and I don't regret watching this earlier work one bit.
But OMG, that music

  Thank you!

I agree; that music was so monotonous and it really distracted from the film.

I don't get the criticism about the soundtrack on this film, I thought it was creepy and low-key and perfectly suited the tone of the film. It really created an atmosphere out of very little. Great stuff imo.
do you REALLY love lamp..?

Does it really? Does that rating prove the movie is good, or does it only show that an easily amused and undiscriminating audience
thinks
it's good? Even a cursory look at what's popular will quickly reveal that the average person wouldn't know a good movie (or a good book, music or anything else) if it was rammed up his arse with a cattle prod.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.

86% rotten tomatoes says otherwise. Lol.

Therefore it ahould be easy for you to understand that it indeed was. Simplistic or not it is true.

Sort of thing a 5 year old would say.

Boring and slow-paced?

I liked it. It captured the sentiment of the film.
