Words can't describe how awful this movie was...but I'll try. First off, there was nothing original about the plot, except the last 15 minutes when we find out that Brahms is not a spirit. He is actually a burned, maniacal man-child living in the walls, killing young girls and dictating the rules of the house. The doll was creepy, yes, but not at all scary. There was no sense of suspense, danger, fear, or "Oh God, what's gonna happen next?" The acting was very sub-par; cardboard cutouts reading ridiculous dialog. The sets, music and camera work were not at all ominous. Oh, you want clichés? How about a girl in the shower being stalked? A rainy night? A shadow on the wall? A telephone that keeps ringing and no one is there? Getting locked in the attic? Creeping around at night with a candle while in a house that has electricity and plenty of light switches? Look, I knew going in that this would be a silly haunted house movie, but I was hoping to at least be entertained for 90 minutes. Instead, I was bored and insulted. This movie sucked!
