• A CGI old lady skeleton is supposed to scare us. Ugh. I’d rather watch the Carrie remake. Even that’s asking a lot.

• Proud of what Universal (and other studios) are doing to court the ever-important Latino market. Folks are being aggressive and innovative, and thats commendable in this day and age where some campaigns phone it in.

• Agree–also proud of Universal for understanding what the Latino market wants and giving it to them. These kinds of low-ish budget films can do very well when target audiences are bullseyed.

  bravo.

• What a turd. This is a perfect example of modern film failings. The whole premise is stuffed down our throats ten minutes in. Then they rely on jump reveals which they confused with dramatic reveals so by the time they happen we’re just tired of waiting for the ghost to jump out. And to top it off, after paying to be punished for eighty minutes then we have to sit through some of the worst CGI skelly/deformed/wtf floaty woman crap that’s made it to any screen outside a first year film class in quite a while for the last ten minutes. Paradox: If an indie studio had made this on a low budget they would have had to be clever and develop the dialog and plot and use limited effects and it might have been good but distribution would suck and no one would know about it. Universal makes it, throws a grip of cash at it, stuffs horrific (not in the good way) special effects in it and it opens nationwide so we can all watch shit wiggle on the big screen for an hour and a half. Come on Hollywood, read the script, not just the cast roster. And maybe, this is crazy, but maybe have someone who’s not an idiot watch it before the final production run. If Universal thinks this is what Latinos want, they must think Latinos love really really awful, predictable, boring, poorly engineered, badly written, ass in a hat because that’s what this is. Thanks for talking it up Fallon – Fail.
