...it's hard to tell what is normal these days!
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth!
DeleteI don't know whether I should watch it or skip it 😺
ReplyDeleteimo... it's lost a bit of its effect so long after, but it's still fine. Just not the "truly scary" it might've been back in the day.
DeleteSounds too spooky for me!
ReplyDeleteThe filming technique has lost some of the newness, and that decreased the scare factor for me.
DeleteOhhh I was thrilled when these came out. My kind of movie. I own all the Paranormal movies. Mr. M. says they are boring and nothing happens. I think that is part of the excitement of the movie.
ReplyDeleteI came to horror late so am just now seeing it. As with a lot of the horror movies, I think they aren't as effective later as they are when first released. That said, I'll watch the others if I come across them.
DeleteI think I saw this on TV a couple of years ago. It was a bit scary at times, if it's the film I'm thinking of.
ReplyDeleteIt does have its moments.
DeleteI saw this awhile ago and liked it.
ReplyDeleteI liked it, too. It wasn't as scary as I was led to expect.
Delete"Wonderful". This is Germany. I cannot watch the video.
ReplyDeleteWe watched "Capricorn", it was... sad.
I had just assumed Netflix was universal lol I don't really understand how any of these services work. I don't think I've seen Capricorn...
DeleteI watched this one in Netflix, scary! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI imagine it was even scarier when it first came out
DeleteThis sounds too spooky for me ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I imagine it was more effective when it was first released, before this technique was commen.
