Maybe Del Toro is trying to hard to go mainstream. Anyway, it's got Idris Elba, a talented actor in it, so it has one thing going for it.<br /><br />When it comes to really scary movies, I like to turn to an oldie- "The Shining" by Kubrick. The whole thing is scary, but the lady in the bathtub who starts out hot and becomes grossified in Jack's arms always freaks me out. Eurgh! The ending of Ben Wheatley's odd "Kill List" is pretty scary too.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791493920946066930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-3519699763152754282013-07-01T15:07:48.564-07:002013-07-01T15:07:48.564-07:00Really enjoyed this film.

Kinda like The Orphanage.

Perhaps with the boyfriend there to cover me eyes (if required) I'd enjoy it.<br /><br />I hope you're well :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103141646225036708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-74157176262442055832013-06-17T08:20:17.006-07:002013-06-17T08:20:17.006-07:00I really like this movie.

You're definitely right about the characters and the story, which make it a lot better than a typical ghost story.
