Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I thought they did a pretty good job bringing some of the classic stories into this. They brought the classic stories to the screen very well. Some of the scenes were creepy, and have a lot of good build up. Some of the creatures are fantastic looking. My only real gripe, which has become an annoyance for me with some of these newer horror movies... The "startle" scares. These are cheap and add nothing to the movie. This is another movie that likes to drop the dialogue volume down to nothing, then suddenly you're hit with +20db loud noises, sometimes they're not even part of a monster scare. It's just loud for the sake of being loud. - This is a cheap way to get scares in a movie, and it doesn't count. Quit being lazy. This movie didn't need them. Easily a 4 star movie without the startle scares. The atmosphere and build-up were good enough. Edit: I went back and updated my rating to 4 stars. We've watched this movie several more times and it gets better with every viewing. I can look passed the very few LOUD NOISE startle scares. The meat of this movie is downright delicious.
