Shame. I've just seen it and whilst I wasn't anywhere near walking out I do appreciate that the first half is pretty slow. I thought the whole thing was pretty good however, and much better than I had expected. Cast was a bit limp (particularly that little girl) though the dark was brilliantly realised and the gore was grade A stuff. Aside from a few jumps the only real scares came from the mentality of the people in the church which was very reminiscent of The Wicker Man to me. The last 20 minutes were fucking ace. A nice smattering of cap doffs to the games too without being annoying for those who haven't played them (i.e. Lisa the nurse - that shit with the bleeding eyes scared the fuck out of me in the first game).

I liked it.
