From things I had read, it states it starts off slow. I definitely agree, however sit down, enjoy the suspense. There are many humerous moments in the film as well. My fiancee kept glancing at me through the initial scenes, with a credulous look that it was not a scary film. It progresses very well. By the end, there was no doubt this was a very intense and fun, scary spook flick. If you enjoy scary movies, you will enjoy this one as well,
