Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

timaenot Why such a low rating on IMDB?? It it definitely one of the best horror movies I have seen in recent years. It has great atmosphere and an original plot with a good portion of mystery and detective elements. Sarah Snook is really amazingly good in her part. And the film is scary, it reaches its goal perfectly! The atmosphere of the house she is forced to live in is really uneasy and eerie. You really feel walking in Jessies shoes as the story develops. By the way, I dislike horror films with an evident plot. I like horror films with a secret at the core of their plot which is (at least partially) resolved in the end. There are so many users here claiming that the plot reminds of a certain other movie and is predictable and has been done before. To me, it was a very original story, and I did not guess the secret until the end. And I have seen the other film the users are referring to and found it completely different from Jessabelle. If a movie is set in similar surroundings, it does not mean that the story is the same! Give it a chance, it is worth it and way better than your usual horror flicks.

Eka Herlyanti Two little parts of this horror movie are so similar with Dark Water and The Ring in American version. Yes, that dark black water dropping and that old video watching thing. Sorry, maybe it's because those two movies really stick in my mind so I get a little sensitive with any scenes from that movie. They're my favorite horror movies. And The Conjuring, too.Okay, back to this movie. I think this movie is fairly scary, but not scary enough to make me wanna scream and cover my eyes. I even laughed and made a joke out of some scenes that seem weird to me. Like when ex-cook of Jessie's parents (if I'm not wrong)utters something, almost like cursing.In my opinion, sometimes Jessie's expression is odd. As if she's trying to look sexy with her lips, her smile and her other motions. I know you look like Lindsay Lohan in some angle. But this is horror movie, right? And she just went through a very devastating moment in her life. Not to mention that she lives alone in that eerie house. Match your face expression to that condition. And I don't really like Jessie's father as well. His acting is not so convincing. Too rigid.The story itself is not so intriguing. Too much drama than the supernatural content. It's just saying voodoo, tarot, and so on but never get too deep in the topic. Well, it's just my opinion.

mr-rob-c the film is underrated... the main character plays like always very good, the story is good, why the movie is so bad reviewed, it is a mystery to me.therefore .... does not look at the rating, give it a chance, muchbetter than what the review will bear and thus significantly better than the crap with such a review. try it out for good acting, for good story/idea and a good endgreetings from cologne & sorry for my Englishdon't know what to write else...all is said....see my other rewiews, in the future i will posts some film lists, greetz

Desertman84 Producer Jason Blum of Paranormal Activity came up with another horror film about a woman who tries to face both her internal and external ghosts while trying to recuperate from an accident at her hometown in Louisiana in Jessabelle.It stars Sarah Snook in the title role. This film written by Ben Garant and directed by Kevin Greutert provides us a horror film wherein a woman tries to come face to face with spirits that have been tormenting her and would want to have absolute control of her as well as a resolution about unresolved issues and traumatic experiences they have both have had with each other.While the film has an interesting premise and had great potential,too bad that it ended up far from interesting and compelling.Also,it just ended up with very limited horrific scenes that would scare the audience and it accidentally ended up gross that it became funny and hard to watch.Added to that,it also lacked tension required for a horror movie and the story became far from original and refreshing especially for horror movie fans.Despite the good portrayal of Sandra Snook and the presence of the gorgeous Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera,it ended up as a disappointment.
