Synopsis

True-crime writer Ellison Oswald is in a slump; he hasn't had a best seller in more than 10 years and is becoming increasingly desperate for a hit. So, when he discovers the existence of a snuff film showing the deaths of a family, he vows to solve the mystery. He moves his own family into the victims' home and gets to work. However, when old film footage and other clues hint at the presence of a supernatural force, Ellison learns that living in the house may be fatal.

dimipetrov I don't care if you say it's cliche and have annoying music and bad jump scares, the story, the ending and in general the idea of Bugul just made me watch it second time and know what?I liked it again.Trust me it's not even close to 6.8/10
decalqueen For me, this is my favourite scary/horror movie. The story is clever, and revealed at a good pace. A couple of good scares at the beginning to get you in and then the story unfolds. The ending, for me, was unexpected. Other reviews have revealed the plot so all I can say is, if you want to see something different in the genre, see this. Don't confuse it with the sequel though.
CinematicSyndrome Its rare for a horror movie to impress me, and this one simply shines with the perfect blend of horror, mystery, thriller and really invests one into the life of a true crime writer's life. Amazing performance by Ethan Hawk he always impresses and much credit goes to Scott Derrickson for the writing, definitely top notch for a horror movie. It consists of genuine scares throughout and executed perfectly. And what works about all this is that its all kept as grounded as possible. The end however wasn't that grounded which makes one think that it could have been better but its acceptable considering the plot was eventually gonna go that path. Still a lot better than most horror flicks,Verdict: Definitely worth checking out.
horrorgeek-61499 I was blown away by this film it should have get more attention when it came out the ending is great. I love this Film so much. Sadly the sequel wasn't half as good as this one here. Ethan Hawke did a great job and the terror is breathtakingly intense. Good script, good cgi and everything is done right for a creepy film. This is a the perfect Halloween Movie.
