Yup I really got into the spirit of the film and found it very effective - especially given that haunted houses, weird happenings etc are so ten a penny and to that end that's why I think it's a good horror. I wasn't so sure about some of the sillier elements but I reminded myself to just go with the flow as films like Jeepers Creepers needed and thus I settled back down to the jolts!
What I also found refreshing was that this was a rare new horror not trading on shedloads of gore - just trying to scare you witless and I think that's a harder, classier job to pull off.
