The movie had a great plot, sure a little unoriginal (family mourning loss of parent/spouse move into a beautiful old house at a strangely low price, do no research into it's history, and SURPRISE! It's haunted!) but that isn't the reason it's 1 star.
No it's one star because just like all of the horror movies out recently, it builds, and builds, and builds.... Then falls flat on it's face. The ending was garbage. There was absolutely no closure. Okay, evil spirit takes over house a long time ago got it. But why does it want the kids? Why does it want the kids. What do the doll and pocket watch have to do with ANYTHING. The end is just so unsatisfying and leaves more questions than answers. It's getting old. A horror movie ending in a way that leaves you questioning what the hell just happened is so old and played out and was only done well a few times, now every horror movie made tries to pull this same thing and it just comes across as lazy and unsatisfying.
