Co-worker of mine saw it on Saturday and said he felt as though he wasted his money. He said it had only like 3-4 points in the movie that gave him a jolt (not even a scare) and that it was boring, but he did say it messed with his sleep cycle a few times that night

Doesnt sound like a waste of money to me.

bunch of ppl at my college saw it and said it was kinda lame they said if your into ghost or believe in ghosts you would like it other then that they said the camera was shaky and remind them of blair witch project taping.

Apparently 85% of the world's population believe in ghosts, so it sounds like a smart marketing ploy. It cost about 11k to make, and I think it’s taken in somewhere around 19million already.

I also thought "blair witch" when I saw the trailer.

The reviews I've seen, especially those on YouTube, give it a big thumbs-down.

Perhaps that is why I liked it, but then again I've lived in haunted houses so the movie wasn't that farfetched to me. PS: everything you saw in that movie has happened to real people (or atleast reported accounts that is), the ending of course I doubt has actually happened in real life though, and if it has I doubt there is proof.

I believe its up to 30 million now, it totally massacred the new saw movie. Movieman191 gave it a great review on youtube. He is a new youtuber, but does great reviews.

My hunch is why 85% people like it is the same reason vampire movies are popular they have it everywhere ghost hunters, ghost stories, taps, all kinds of goofy stuff to sell a new fad but hey its all in what you like not me.

I watched it last night and thought it was a waste of time. There were a few cool parts but I mean I could of skipped to the 4 or 5 bedroom scenes and just watched that and been happy the rest was just boring. My favorite part was when the thing dragged her out of bed

I totally want to see this only one problem....my big burly husband who isn't scared of anything ....spent 24 yrs in the military is scared to death of stuff like this. He will walk out of the room if I talk about my old apt.

I didn't believe in stuff like this too too much until I moved into my apt. in Seattle....it was built in 1902 and I saw waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy to much to not believe. There way crazy crazy stuff that happened...a few ppl were hired to come in and they stated there was 22 different entities. And the whole thing with pets can see it is soooooo true.

If you ever asked me if I would live in a place like that I would say....no way. But at the time...its weird...you just deal with it and hope that nothing crazy bad happens. I still look back on and think...why the heck did I not move!!!!!! Nothin happened to me that was life threatening but some bad things did happen to a couple of other ppl that lived in the apt. complex.

Crazy stuff.

I think it would be interesting living in a home thats haunted. It would be a great conversation piece when you invite friends over.

[BPelizabeth]

That is only if your friends will come back over. I had quite a few refuse to come over to my apt. after the first time.

As a rough-n-tough ghostbuster with a psychic bazooka, I don't find these types of movies and shows the least bit scary. I watch them to laugh at the people in them.

In real situations, half the stuff people assign to spirit activity is really just mundane stuff that happens coincidentally. They get themselves so paranoid that they can't even pick out what's really linked to it, and what isn't.

Exploring hauntings is like a wildlife safari for me, I like to find them in their native habitat, they're kind of cool. ^_^

Myth one: You can't defend yourself.
Of course you can, you just need to learn how. If you aren't very good at it, then call in some help, because there's nothing out there that NO ONE can deal with. There's always someone around somewhere who can take care of it, no matter how big and tough it is. But don't sit around twiddling your thumbs not trying, and then claim you're helpless.

Myth two (the spookier one): Ghosts can't hurt you anyhow.
If it can throw a plate, what can it do to your heart? Common sense. It's much easier just to lull someone's mind into a trance as they approach a red light, though. If they wanted you dead, and you weren't protected, you wouldn't last very long. Obviously most spirits aren't interested in homocide--many of them appear to quite simply be TRYING to scare people. It's probably loads of funny for them, I know it is for me.
