Like most horror movies- the problem seems to be that nothing is very scary anymore. Not like when we were all younger, with an imagination where anything is possible. The only horror movies that really make you think, even long after the movie is over- are fact based or true stories of the paranormal.
Some may not agree, but somewhere a real family needed help. It’s not always so much how many times they can make you scream or jump- it’s the fact that this really happened. And they needed help. So maybe if we can put ourselves in their shoes that way- it might just make all the difference.
