Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Absolutely amazing
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View MoreThe film was good, not fantastic but definitely not terrible. The acting was fantastic though, especially Robert Pattinson. It was quite hard to follow the story as it moved around a lot and left things unexplained, but that all adds to suspense. The ending was very confusing though that was the only bit I really didn't like. Overall the movie was watchable and I would watch it again for the sake of Robert Pattinson, maybe the story would be more clear the second time round as I have not read the book. For just over a hour the film is really well done and acted, definitely recommend watching twice before you decide whether you like it or not.I wouldn't say the film was terrible I've seen much much much WORSE!
View MoreIf there was a lower rating than a 1 star, this movie would earn it. This movie has Robert Pattinson in it, you get to see his pretty face. That's about the only thing this movie has going for it. The plot NEVER comes to a climax, when the movie ends you find your self wondering.."OK....what exactly was the plot?". Truly pathetic and please do not waste your 99 cents for the rental price. Just Awful! In fact I'm having a hard time finding the words to write a minimum of 10 lines to describe it. At no point in this movie do you truly know who were the bad guys. So many appeared to possibly be involved yet in the end you still have no clue. Never once do you get any idea of why he constantly saw spiders. Who killed the other patient? It never comes to a close. It's almost as if they tried to make a twisting plot movie and then abruptly after drawing out the openers for too long came to a halt.
View MoreAs a fan of the late prolific Dennis Wheatley who found "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" to be one of his most gripping thrillers, I was confused to find that this tedious mess was supposed to be inspired by that work. What there is of plot is undercut by uncertainty whether Jugg, from whose POV the story is seen, is a reliable narrator or a nutcase. Playing Jugg, Robert Pattinson mostly gives the perfect Goth fashion model note of cool emotionlessness, which presumably serves him well in the hunky teen vampire stories to which he owes his fame. For this story I would have preferred an actor.Just for fun, the script includes a bit of interracial flirting which is perfectly appropriate to the 21st Century and perfectly inappropriate to World War II, during which the story is set. Casting a black woman as nurse in a British countryside rest home was inane altogether considering the era.Don't waste your time. Read the book if you can find it.
View MoreCongratulations to anyone in the movie, television and media industry. Full praise to those who make the effort of assembling movies and keeping us entertained. I will not be-little those who make the effort and in this case i wonder what happened with the writer's and why would the executive's afford such garbage these past years?? It is arduous to find money and quite troubling to see persons in the industry blow so much involved time & work on such drivel. This title was painful, slow & detached from both reality and the audience. Once again the original author of the book was denied his glory. This tripe was far from paranormal and offered no real pleasure. As and artist i give this one a 2 of 10. For those who worked hard to be let down again i should consider your opinions with much sorrow.Thanks
