pretty good
By mhead (28 reviews) from Wakefield , 13 Mar 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
This film seems to have people split down the middle mostly due to the fact guillermo del torro is attached to it. I personally enjoyed it quite a lot and del torros influence is clear to see which is always a good thing. Give it a fair chance and you won't be dissapointed.- Was this review helpful to you?

By rutland (22 reviews) , 13 May 2013Incredibly boring, no new ground at all, no creation, no interest whatsover. Only the start was any good!! Looked like it might be okay, don't be afraid of the dark...but be afraid of the qulaity of this shizzle!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good Scary Fairies
By a customer , 13 May 2013Enjoyable scary fairy story with some suprisingly horrific elements! Manages to remain creepy despite having the potential to lose it's atmosphere. Would recomend to Guillermo del Toro fans!- Was this review helpful to you?

A classy horror film.
By Zebras22 (31 reviews) , 24 Apr 2013Give yourself a treat. A well made and scary horror film for a change. Well directed and the effects are really good. A cut above the usual horror films that come out.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not good enough.
By a customer , 15 Apr 2013Good storyline, but the acting annoyed me all the way through. The little girl in particular. The character was just so petulant, ignorant, disobedient and totally un-loveable, which doesn't make me root for her throughout the film at all! Also, the 'monster' was revealed way too early. I like it more when you can't see the evil thing or killer until the end. The idea was there, but the rest was a let down unfortunately.- Was this review helpful to you?

Is it supposed to be funny?
By a customer , 14 Apr 2013The best thing about this film is the girl who plays the main character- she is convincingly very scared in many of the scenes. There was nothing else good about the film. The storyline itself is not bad, but it's so utterly underdeveloped. It's been wasted. Sometimes the scariest things are the things we can't see- and I think the 'little things' were introduced too early, sucking the anxiety out from the film. If you are looking for something scary... don't go for this one. I think I laughed a couple of times. This might be a good 'bad movie' to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?
