Overrated

Excellent adaptation.

As Good As It Gets

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I'm on the side on the nay-sayers here. Generic heavy metal music, a lot happening in darkness, and a whole lot of cliche. It's not a TERRIBLE movie, but it's also certainly nothing above the ordinary. I can enjoy heavy music just fine, the music itself is not my beef here, but the whole "heavy metal = satan" is crap. It's just lazy. There's no real suspense, we can't see anything, and cool tattooed dad paints butterflies with kids' faces and many-eyed goats and all that = scary satan stuff, is just tedious. Andy Williams songs would have been more jarringly disconcerting. (OK, maybe not a great choice.) Nah, sorry. From 2015, give me Bone Tomahawk, The Witch, We are Still Here, Green Room, The Lure, and even The Visit, before ever even thinking about this one. I know, I know, to each his own etc. Of course.

This movie starts as your typical haunted house movie. But then starts to take shape and differentiate. There's no twist whatsoever, just a terror movie done right. The soundtrack is excellent.

It look promissing at the time , but in the end its just a classic neo traditional horror flick like you can see every month in the cinema . the only thing disturbing there is the underlying christian message along with some basic metal riff that have not a lot to do with the story . I love metal along with some other music but the way it is representated in this movie reduce this genre and culture as a boring cliche . Along that , i haven't found any deep in the character execept in the quality of their headbanging , no real horror either and please don't tell me that it is more the psychological type, it is not . Just Mainstrem , nice photo , pretty people ... it may not be a cold day yet but apparently its a cheap day i Hell.

Beyond corny, the ending was so bad I don't know how I didn't vomit. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I will be spending decades in therapy trying to figure out why I watched this terrible thing. How do I get my 1 hour and 19 minutes back? Whoever is responsible for this piece of crap deserves a special place in Hell. Only problem is that Satan would be so disgusted by this flop that he would throw you out! I love metal music but the way its used in this movie is very contrived and distracting. This movie is fantastic as a "what not to do" model for film students. Whoever made this I sincerely hate you for taking a potentially good idea and churning out this steaming pile of maggot infested dog crap! Either make a horror movie or a Lifetime original, please make up your mind. Thankfully the bottle of wine I just drank was far better than this sorry excuse of a horror film.
