When the Lights Went Out (2012)

So here's another horror that I'd been wanting to see for some time now (vaguely remember the trailer) and had seen it featured in Most haunted and Paranormal lockdown U.K.
So after seeing these two shows I thought 'Hmm, maybe this film could be good'; so I bought a copy from HMV yesterday for £5.99 expecting something genuinely scary and yes, to start with it did have some good scary scenes but as the story progressed up to the end I thought 'This is just haunted house-by-numbers' and the CGI effects were as unconvincing as most of the other modern films I've seen. The acting and set pieces were great (being a child of the '70s myself the pop-culture refs were nice) but overall it was very underwhelming.
