Just like typical Wan, the cinematography is breathtaking, the acting from Vera, Patrick and the kids is great! There is a constant feeling of dread and atmosphere created in this flick and best of all no cheap jump scares!
My movie of the year so far and by far best horror in YEARS!

I had completely the opposite reaction. I wasn't going to go because I find Wan a banal filmmaker who simply regurgitates every tired horror movie trope, every single film. I should have trusted my judgement.
Personally I'm tired of being force-fed these lazy, sterile, studio product ghost stories that are being churned out at the moment. They're like the Mcdonalds of horror movies and they're simply not scary.
I personally expect better than this naff check-list of clichés, but clearly people are lapping it up.
