I didn’t like it. Not enough to give it a bad rating, because there were some good things, but on the whole, I just didn’t enjoy this film. I thought the animated people were grotesque (which was surely deliberate, but I thought they were ugly and didn’t enjoy them), and the story was interesting, but predicatable and I found myself wishing that the film would just finish already, for pete’s sake. The house itself was well-done, though, and the movie was intense. So much so that I’m not surprised to hear that loads of little children are being scared out of their wits by it, and people are complaining about the fact that this is marketed as a children’s film. In fact, when I bought the tickets yesterday (I was there with my seven-year-old son), the ticket guy actually warned me that I might want to think twice about taking him to see it. (My son wasn’t at all scared by it, though – he enjoyed it a lot).
