I do not know about all of you, but there's nothing more horrifying than children in horror movies. Remember 1984's Children of The Corn? How about The Omen-the 1976 original and the 2006 remake? And let's be real, The Exorcist is a film that has frightened generations and will continue to do so.
Would I put this film amongst the same ranks as that of The Exorcist? No. It's not that scary, and it's not quite that good. It has its moments, however. You will jump. You will scream, and you do not see right away the turn the film is going to take until about midway through. Renee Zellweger does a good job at playing the hardworking, "truly caring," frumpy, social worker. Bradley Cooper is honestly not in the film as long as I would have liked. It's not his best work, but this is not exactly a film that showcases true acting ability. Let's be real-the man is hot, and it's never disappointing to see him in a film, even if just for a short while.
My overall conclusion: Is it going to go down in horror film classic records? No it's not. It's a horror flick with a moderately over-done plot, and just decently scary. However, If you're in the mood for a good scream, I do recommend it.
